Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui (born 23 November 1990) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays for Czech club Slavia Prague and the Cameroon national team as a defender.

Club career

He trained as a youth with Canon Yaoundé. After graduating in Cameroon, he spent six months learning German in order to study Civil Engineering in Germany.[1] Whilst in Germany, he played for SV Sandhausen II and 1. FC Nürnberg II, before transferring to Botoșani in 2014, where he eventually wore the captain's armband. Despite rumours linking him with a move to Steaua Bucharest,[2] in the summer of 2016 he completed a €500k transfer to Slavia Prague.

On 9 May 2018 he played as Slavia Prague won the 2017-18 Czech Cup final against FK Jablonec.[3]

International career

He made his senior debut for the Cameroon national football team in a 2–0 win over The Gambia for 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.[4] He went on to play every minute of Cameroon's victorious 2017 Africa Cup of Nations campaign, scoring two goals, including a clearance off the line followed by the winning goal in the group stage match against Guinea-Bissau. He was ultimately named one of three defenders in the Confederation of African Football's Team of the Tournament.[5]

Upon his return from the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, he scored the only hat-trick of his senior career for Slavia Prague in his first game back on 25 February 2017 in their 8–1 away win at Příbram.

In September 2018, he was named as captain for new manager Clarence Seedorf's first 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game against The Comoros.[6]
