The recent appointments made by the Cameroonian Ministry of Sports for the national football team have stirred significant reactions and controversies. Here's a summary of the key points:

Marc Brys Appointed as Head Coach: Marc Brys, a 61-year-old Belgian coach with extensive experience primarily in Belgium, has been named as the new head coach of the Cameroon national team. This marks the third time a Belgian technician has taken charge of the team.

Career Stats of Marc Brys: Brys has managed a total of 628 games, with 234 wins, 231 losses, and 163 draws, resulting in a win percentage of approximately 37.29%. He has previously coached several clubs, including Germ Beerschot, R.E Mouscron, FC Eindhoven, and others.

Composition of the New Technical Staff: Alongside Brys, the new technical staff includes Omam Biyik as assistant coach, Ashu Bessong as assistant coach #2, Alioum Boukar as goalkeeping coach, Dany Nounkeu as team manager, Christophe Manouvrier as physical trainer, and Germain Noël Essengue as part of the press team.

Reactions to the Appointment:

Jean Claude Mbede criticizes the lack of official announcement from FECAFOOT and questions Eto'o's leadership.
Jean Crepin Nyamsi rejects the nominations and asserts Eto'o's authority as the elected president of FECAFOOT.
Nabil Djellit acknowledges Brys' appointment and speculates on potential political motivations behind the choice.
Sacha Tavolieri, a Belgian journalist, praises the appointment of Brys and anticipates positive results for the Cameroon national team.
FECAFOOT's Response: The Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT) expressed surprise and opposition to the appointments made without consultation, in violation of the organization's regulations. Further communication from FECAFOOT is expected to address this situation.

The appointments and reactions highlight the complexities and tensions within Cameroonian football governance, particularly concerning the balance of power between the Ministry of Sports and FECAFOOT, as well as the leadership of Samuel Eto'o.
