| Volker Finke |
Initial
reports are that Akono and his assistants will be in charge for the vital World
Cup qualifiers against Togo on 9 June and DR Congo a week later, as well a
friendly against Ukraine before that.
However
with Akono still recovering from a suspected mild heart attack over the weekend
Finke may start his role sooner than expected.
It
is understood that fromer France boss Raymond Domenech and Antoine Kambouare
were also considered for the job.
Frenchman
Domenech, 61, was manager of his country's national team between 2004 and 2010,
taking them to the runners-up spot at the 2006 World Cup finals.
However,
he has no experience of African football at either club or national level and
has not been involved in football management since the end of his time in
charge of Les Bleus.
Kambouare
is also a free agent, having been sacked by Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal FC in
January this year.
The
former Paris Saint Germain manager, 49, also has no coaching experience in
Africa.
Meanwhile,
Fecafoot has contacted the 25 members of the squad named by Akono for the
upcoming World Cup qualifiers, as well as the friendly against Ukraine on 2
June.
After
Akono circulated details of the squad, Fecafoot stated it had rejected his
selections because it expected to have a new man in place who would make his
own selections.
BBC
Sport has been told that Akono's squad has now been accepted.
