FECEFOOT president Samuel Eto’o has finally recognized Belgian coach Marc Brys as the head coach of the country’s national team.
The decision to back the coach who was appointed by the country’s Ministry of Sports and Physical Education was made during a meeting at the FECAFOOT office on Thursday afternoon in the presence of the Minister of Sports and Physical Education Professor Narcisse Mouelle Kombi.
While apologizing to the coach for the faceoff he had with him on Wednesday, Samuel Eto’o assured the Belgian coach of total support ahead of the World Cup qualifier next month
“I apologize because, in our unfortunate first meeting, there were lots of emotions…I prefer to put it that way but as you know … the only interest has to get us to work. Like I told the coach, we have convictions we won’t change. For two years we have been working to give our football the best. I think regarding the administrative side that gave us problems in the past we no longer have such problems. I think the coach comes to an environment where he will need the very professional administrative side…it’s important for us to stay on track for Cameroon. I thank you once again while apologizing for the last time. We don’t have much time. He has to do all so we start winning…it won’t be easy but I ask you all to be indulgent. Among the last people to stand by you I will be there because our destinies are linked. If we win the president I am won’t have issues…but if we lose I will have problems regarding salary payment and the advancement of the mission. I know the mission isn’t easy but know here you will have our support.”
“I’m quite happy to have spoken with the coach. I thank you while apologizing for the last time. I know that your mission is not easy despite your experience, your qualities, but know that here you will have our support so that this mission is less difficult.”
