David Pagou (born 13 January 1969) is a Cameroonian football coach, currently the manager of the Cameroon national team.
Born in Kaélé,[1] Pagou began his coaching career in the 1990s.[2] After managing APEJES de Mfou and Cosmos de Bafia, he began the 2015 season in charge of Canon Yaoundé, but left after eight winless matches,[3] and subsequently led University of Yaoundé I to the gold medal of that year's University Games.[4]
Back to APEJES in 2016,[5] Pagou subsequently enjoyed a long spell at Renaissance. In 2019, after being an assistant of Jean-Baptiste Bisseck at Eding Sport, he was appointed manager of PWD Bamenda.[6]
Pagou led PWD to the 2019–20 Elite One title, the first of their history, and renewed his contract for a further year on 10 October 2021.[7] He also won the 2021 Cameroonian Cup, before departing the club on 25 July 2022.[8]
On 14 December 2022, Pagou was named manager of Aigle Royal Menoua.[9] He resigned the following 12 July,[10] and subsequently took over Stade Renard [fr], where he was named the best manager of 2024.[11]
In April 2024, Pagou was appointed an assistant of the Cameroon national team.[2] He returned to PWD Bamenda on 14 August,[12][13] but was unable to repeat the same success as the club only avoided relegation.
On 24 September 2025, Pagou was announced as manager of Coton Sport de Garoua.[14] On 1 December of that year, he replaced Marc Brys as the head coach of the full national team.[15]
