Modeste M'bami: Ex-Cameroon & Paris Saint-Germain midfielder dies at the young age of 40.

Former Cameroon midfielder Modeste M'bami has died following a cardiac arrest at his home in Le Havre, France on Saturday.

Mbami succumbed to a heart attack at his France home. The former midfielder represented PSG and Olympique de Marseille. The 40-year-old won the 2000 Olympics gold with Cameroon.

“PSG are in mourning. Modeste Mbami has just left us, at the age of 40, after succumbing to a heart attack,” PSG said on Twitter.

CAREER: The midfielder played 37 times for Cameroon between 2000 and 2009, scoring three goals, and was part of the Indomitable Lions team that reached the 2003 Confederations Cup final before losing to France. The Yaounde-born M'bami started his career at Dynamo Douala before moving to France, initially with CS Sedan Ardennes, after which he joined PSG and then Marseille. He also featured for Spanish side Almeria, Changchun Yatai in China and Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ittihad before ending his career at Le Havre.

Mbami won the French Cup twice with PSG in 2004 and 2006 as well as the King’s Cup in Saudi Arabia with A-Ittihad in 2013.

Mbami joins the list of prominent footballers who have recently died after Brazilian Legend Pele and Gianluca Vialli of Italy amongst others.
