A report card Leon Aime Nzang is impressed with and has appreciated it with a new contract.Speaking to this reporter,the coach confessed his satisfaction to be at the helm of the club’s technical bench next season just like all members of the technical staff(unchanged for the 6 seasons).
Oumarou Sogba has been consistent in graduating excellently groomed youths to the senior team with success of the likes of Acha Leonard, Samuel Oum Gwet and Frank Boya (all foreign based now)all his handiwork.
The master tactician started training Apejes in the 2009/2010 season and succeeded in helping the club gain promotion to elite one.
