JUBA, July 1 -- South Sudan Football Association (SSFA) on Monday appointed Cameroonian Ashu Cyprian Besong as head coach of the country's national football team.

Besong, who was Cameroon's U-20 head coach, will replace caretaker coach Ramzi Sebit, the SSFA said.

"Ashu Cyprian Besong of Cameroon will be appointed as the coach for South Sudan national team coach. He is confirmed to arrive Juba, tomorrow (Tuesday) to take up his new assignment," the SSFA said on its official Facebook page.

The coaching position has been vacant since September 2018, following the resignation of Algeria's Ahcene Ait-Abdelmalek just seven months after his appointment.

Besong becomes South Sudan's fifth foreign coach following the departure of Ait-Abdelmalek, South Korea's Lee Sung-Jea, Serbian Zoran Dordevic and Uganda's Leo Adraa.

The world's youngest nation failed to qualify for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Egypt, losing all qualifier games in Group C.
