Ex-Cameroonian footballer, Landry Nguemo has tragically passed away on Thursday at the age of 38 in a road accident near Yaoundé.
Nguemo, who scored three goals in 42 appearances for the Indomitable Lions, retired from football in 2020. The accident happened a few kilometers from Yaoundé when Nguemo’s car, driven by his chauffeur, collided with a sand truck. Both Nguemo and his chauffeur died on the spot.
The president of the Cameroonian Football Federation and Nguemo’s former teammate, Samuel Eto’o, expressed his sorrow on social media.
During his career, Nguemo played for several clubs, including French sides, Saint-Etienne and Bordeaux, both of which extended their deepest condolences.
His professional career began at Nancy-Lorraine in France, where he signed his first contract at 19. Nguemo later played for Girondins de Bordeaux and AS Saint-Etienne before moving to the Turkish and Norwegian leagues.
After retiring, he returned to Nancy to work as a youth coach.
