The former coach of Cameroon and Liberia, Philippe Redon has passed away at the age of 69.

The Frenchman played for Rennes, Bordeaux, FC Metz, Saint-Etienne and Paris Saint-Germain during his active days and his death was announced on Tuesday.

At Saint-Etienne, the Mayenne-born forward scored 56 goals from 377 matches for the club. He also helped them win the Group B Division 2 title as well as secured promotion to the French top-flight.

Redon entered Rennes’ history books for scoring the club’s first-ever European goal in the 1-1 draw against Glasgow Rangers.

After an impressive career, he went into management and his first job was as Creteil manager in 1988 before joining RC Lens a year later.

His first national team was as Cameroon coach in 1990 as a replacement for sacked Russian tactician Valery Nepomnyashchy whose team fumbled in that year’s Africa Cup of Nations staged in Algeria.

Redon helped the Central African nation qualify for Afcon 1992 on an impressive note – staying unbeaten in the qualifying series with three wins and three draws.

In the tournament in Senegal, he helped the team progress to the semi-final where they bowed out on penalties to Cote d’Ivoire after the score stood at 0-0 after extra-time.
