Cameroon Football President has appointed people who aren’t prepared- Marc Brys

Belgian coach Marc Brys has slammed Cameroon Football Federation President Samul Eto’o Fils over the quality of his recent appointees to the country’s National Men’s Football Team, the Indomitable Lions.

Brys was recently sacked from his role as head coach of the Indomitable Lions by Eto’o on grounds of subterfuge and unprofessionalism.

He has since proceeded to launch a string of strong verbal attacks on the iconic footballer who was recently retained as President of Cameroon’s Football Federation including tagging Eto’o as an illegitimate President.

David Pagou has replaced Brys as head coach of Cameroon ahead of the 2025 AFCON and didn’t include Andre Onana in the squad but Brys believes the people appointed by Eto’o’s aren’t prepared for the job in an interview with Sporza.

“Right before a major tournament for our national team, he appoints people who are not prepared. This doesn’t happen anywhere else in the world.”
