Cameroon coach, Clarence Seedorf, has reacted to the possibility of getting sacked, after the defending champions were eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations by Nigeria on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Indomitable Lions lost 3-2 in Alexandria, despite leading 2-1 at the break.<\/p>\n

Seedorf, speaking to reporters after the game, hailed his side\u2019s display and noted that there is room for improvement.<\/p>\n

When asked about his future, he replied: \u201cMaybe we\u2019ll give it a few days. Right now I\u2019m sorry for my players for the loss. I hope the fighting spirit that we\u2019ve shown can be carried through into the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a good tournament. My team has shown discipline which I\u2019m happy with. There\u2019s room for growth.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
