Landing the youth team job at Lille is potentially the start of a long journey if he gets it right.<\/p>\n<p>Per his job description, the club expects Chedjou to train the young generation of players daily and recommend them to the first team staff, depending on his appreciation of their readiness for the first team.<\/p>\n<p>The man that played for Galatasaray, FC Rouen, Pau FC, Bursaspor, Adana Demirspor among other clubs is thus best placed to determine when a player can transit from the formation to the post-formation era.<\/p>\n<p>The man who made 49 appearances for his country and scored once, plus featured at the Africa Cup of Nations, FIFA World Cup amongst others will start a new life and hope to achieve the kind of success he achieved as a player in his new role.<\/p>\n<p>Cameroonian young stars, Aris Noubissie and Angel Yondjo Matam will be under his guidance in the staff that has his compatriot Benoit Angbwa as part of the recently constituted Technical crew.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
