Coaching career

The club was with Le Guen three times in a row (2003 to 2005) French champions . In 2004 he was elected Coach of the Year in France . After the club won the first title under Jacques Santini in 2002, this was the fourth championship title in a row for Olympique. Le Guen hired his team in 2005 in such a way that they had arithmetically secured the title three game days before the end with a lead that could not be recovered. He is the third football coach in France to win three consecutive titles. Albert Batteux (1968–1970) and Robert Herbin (1974–1976) had previously achieved this .
In the summer of 2006 Le Guen succeeded Alex McLeish with the Glasgow Rangers . The contract was terminated seven months later after a dispute with team captain Barry Ferguson . This was the shortest tenure of a Rangers coach. On January 15, 2007 Le Guen succeeded Guy Lacombe as coach at relegation-threatened Paris Saint-Germain . He left the club after the 2008/09 season.
In July 2009, Le Guen became the coach of the Cameroonian national team . He successfully led the team through qualifying for the World Cup in South Africa . At the same time the qualification for the soccer African championship 2010 took place , in which Cameroon was eliminated against the eventual winner Egypt in the quarter-finals with 1: 3 a. At the 2010 World Cup, Cameroon faced the Netherlands, Denmark and Japan, lost all three games and achieved the second-worst overall result of the tournament, after which Le Guen resigned on June 25th. From June 2011 to 2016 he was the national coach of Oman . In July 2016 he became the coach of the Nigerian national team .
