Cameroon coach Paul Le Guen has admitted he faces a difficult task in helping the Indomitable Lions qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, but is excited by the challenge.

Le Guen was formally unveiled as the Cameroon coach this week, taking over from caretaker tactician Thomas Nkono.

"We are going to do our best to qualify the Indomitable Lions," Le Guen said.

"The task is difficult but so exciting. We really want all of Cameroon to get behind us so we can achieve the desired results."

The West African country are bottom of Group A and face a crucial double-header with leaders Gabon on September 5 and 9 that could decide their fate.

Two wins would put them right back in contention for a place in South Africa as they currently trail the group leaders by five points.
