Cameroon: Management of the Lions Withdrawn from Samuel Eto’o

With the appointment of the new technical staff of the national team, the Minister of Sports is displaying the team’s new colors.

A strong move. One is tempted to think so. And this is the opinion of journalist Marc Chouamo:

“Marc Brys is a default choice by the Ministry of Sports in its search for a replacement for Rigobert Song at the helm of the Indomitable Lions. The number one choice was actually Toni Conceiçao. But the dispute with the Portuguese technician (over a billion to be paid to him) and the conditions of his dismissal finally put an end to this comeback. I take as evidence the return of several members of his staff from the time when Conceicao was selector (Omam-Biyick, Alioum Boukar, Manouvrier…). The Cameroonian Football Federation was not involved in this recruitment (it was predictable), its official accounts have remained silent since the announcement by CRTV.

The new coach’s contract must also be signed by the Minsep, as well as the President of Fecafoot, otherwise FIFA will not validate it. So, will FECAFOOT sulk? Or align itself with the government’s choice? Whichever option is chosen, this saga will have twists and turns. We are not out of the woods yet.”
