Uncertainty surrounds Cameroon's coach with World Cup qualifiers approaching
French sports daily L'Equipe dives into the deepening crisis rocking Cameroonian football, following the suspension of national team coach Marc Brys by FECAFOOT president Samuel Eto'o.
Brys, appointed last month by the Minister of Sports in a controversial move bypassing FECAFOOT, found himself in a precarious position from the outset. Eto'o, a legend for the Indomitable Lions, had publicly disagreed with the appointment.
This week's turn of events saw Eto'o capitalize on a recent decision by the Cameroonian National Olympic Committee's arbitration body. Citing this ruling, FECAFOOT suspended Brys and his entire technical staff.
L'Equipe Raises Questions:
- Was this a calculated move? L'Equipe suggests Eto'o might have strategically "turned the tables" on his adversaries by using the arbitration decision to suspend Brys, whom he'd previously endorsed (with reservations).
- Who will coach the Lions against Cape Verde? With qualifiers looming, the question of who will lead the team remains unanswered. Will Eto'o name a new staff quickly?
- FIFA's Role? L'Equipe highlights the potential for FIFA intervention, given world football's governing body frowns upon government interference in national team management. A potential clash between FIFA and Eto'o looms.
