Former coach Pierre Lechantre speaks up for Eto'o

The former coach of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon has dismissed claims that Samuel Eto'o cast a  spell on his former teammate Joseph Desire Job during the 2000 AFCON in Ghana.
The coach was reacting to claims from Bernard Tchoutang that Samuel Eto'o had applied magical powers on Job in order to take his place.
Speaking on SFR Sport, the French man disclosed that Eto'o was no match for Job. Job was good but Eto'o was better.
Besides, he was the sole decision maker.  
"I lived that edition of the Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana. Job's first matches were average but Samuel excelled during every training session," he revealed.
"The decision maker was me, not any magician," he continued.
According to him, Eto'o deserved it.
"I had observed that he would become one of the best attackers in the world. And I don't think I was wrong," he said.
Eto'o had previously reacted to the claims from his former teammate whom he described as being"bitter and jealous".
Eto'o is one of the most outstanding players in the history of African football. He has won the Best African Footballer of the Year Award four times. A position of prestige which he shares only with Yaya Tore of Ivory Coast.
