Early and personal life


Akono was born on 1 January 1952 in Yaoundé.[1]


Playing career


Akono played for Cameroon at international level, participating in the 1972 African Cup of Nations,[2] and appearing in one FIFA World Cup qualifying match in 1973.[3] He played club football for Canon Yaoundé between 1979 and 1980.[1]


Coaching career


Akono was in charge of Cameroon at the 2000 Summer Olympics.[4]

He was appointed to manage the Cameroon national team on an interim basis in September 2012.[5][6] In April 2013 it was announced that the Cameroonian Football Association had begun the process of finding a permanent replacement for Akono.[7] Akono later stated he was "shocked and embarrassed" that they were replacing him, and that he would not be applying for the job on a permanent basis.[8] The Cameroonian Football Association later announced that Akono would remain in charge for forthcoming World Cup qualifying matches in June 2013, although they would continue their search for a replacement due to Akono's illness; he was replaced by German Volker Finke a few days later.[9]
