The team, which finished last season without any trophies for the first time since 2020, aims to inject fresh talent and skillful players into its ranks. Their goal is not only to dominate the Cameroon football scene but also to make an impact at the continental level.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The club has released seven defenders, three midfielders, two goalkeepers, and two strikers. Among those departing is Emile Lako, named the best goalkeeper at the 2023 Ballon d&#8217;Or awards. Lako, who joined Cotonsport last summer, saw limited playing time due to Gabin Allabanant&#8217;s status as the first-choice goalkeeper.<\/p>\n<p>Despite saving a penalty for Cotonsport in the CAF Champions League last season, Lako&#8217;s importance to the club was questioned by officials. Interestingly, he now finds himself on the radar of two top teams in Cameroon: Dynamo of Douala and Fauve Azur. Joining him in the departure list is 25-year-old Jean Daniel Stephane Nyeck, formerly of AS Fortuna.<\/p>\n<p>Veteran player Yves Alain Dooh Moukoko, who has played for clubs like Yong Sports Academy, Canon Sportive, and Eding, is among the seven defenders shown the exit door. Patrick Etoga, formerly of \u0130stanbulspor, also bids farewell.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, U21 wonder kid Goni Ali, who formed a strong defensive partnership with Che Malon of Simba SC, will no longer be part of the team. Other names on the list include Ibrahim Abba, Mamoudou Hassana Abbo, Frank Achille Nyobe Nyobe, and Boubakari Dairou.<\/p>\n<p>In midfield, former Bamboutos of Mbouda players Benjamin Bieleu and Ako Harry are part of the trio relinquished by the club. The third midfielder is Innocent Assana Nah. Bieleu Benjamin, who scored Cotonsport&#8217;s first goal in last season&#8217;s playoffs, failed to secure an extension.<\/p>\n<p>Upfront, Eding Sports&#8217; Jean Emmanuel Chamdjou and Moshood Kasali Goma are the two strikers sent packing by the club.<\/p>\n<p>Reports from close sources suggest that Cotonsport plans to promote some of its youth players to the senior team while also exploring new recruitment opportunities.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92024 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
