Fecafoot contests appointment of new coach


The Cameroon Football Federation, Fecafoot, early Wednesday expressed surprised and dissatisfaction after the Ministry of Sports and Physical Education, announced the appointment of a new head coach of the national football team.

Belgian tactician, Marc Brys will henceforth pilot the Indomitable Lions, but this announcement has pushed the Federation to react.

Fecafoot said they were never aware of the singing of Marc Brys, as they were also informed via a communique.

‘The Cameroon Football Federation learned, at the same time as all Cameroonians, of the appointment to positions of responsibility within the National Senior Men’s Football Selection.’

The Federation also said the appointment violated articles of a decree passed in 2014.

‘FECAFOOT expresses its great astonishment at this act which is contrary to the terms of Decree No. 2014/384 of September 26, 2014 relating to the organization and operation of national football teams.’

‘This decision taken unilaterally comes at the very moment when FECAFOO
T has agreed to follow the instructions of the President of the Republic by providing its frank collaboration with a view to achieving appeasement beneficial to the future of our dear Indomitable Lions. FECAFOOT intends to shed light on this regrettable situation, just as it will communicate without delay on the reaction it intends to have.’ A communique read.
