Marc Brys is no longer the Cameroon coach. At least, in the eyes of Samuel Eto’o and the federation… because within the ministry, the file is not closed.
We finally thought this grand guignolesque story was over: Cameroon had decided, via the president of its federation Samuel Eto’o, to part ways once and for all with Marc Brys. After months of tensions and totally incredible situations, Brys had given up, not having received a call-up and tickets for the CAN.
A coach appointed by the federation, David Pagou, is now in place and it is he who has taken charge of Morocco. He also raised a few eyebrows by taking over… a Brazilian D6 player that he worked with in the past in youth teams.
Marc Brys back after the CAN?
It was only one of the many anomalies of a selection largely influenced by Samuel Eto’o, and deprived in particular of Vincent Aboubakar and André Onana. But Marc Brys gave up and resigned, it seems. Except that at the Ministry of Sports, we don’t want to part with it.
The Newspaper thus affirms that the ministry, which nominated Marc Brys, is still counting on him, but has decided not to create conflict during the CAN and to let the selection of David Pagou work. In order to avoid tensions between the ministry and the federation, the matter is left unresolved.
But it is not impossible that at the end of the African Cup, the conflict will flare up again… and therefore that Marc Brys will return through the back door at the head of the Indomitable Lions. In the meantime, Brys is spending the holidays with family in Belgium…
