Overview

  • FECAFOOT announced on July 21 that it had noted Marc Brys’s resignation and would implement a coordinated response to fill the head coach vacancy.
  • Marc Brys denied tendering any resignation in a letter to the sports ministry, alleging his email was compromised and the resignation letter was not authentic.
  • Cameroon’s Ministry of Sports and Physical Education confirmed that Brys remains in his role and labeled the resignation claim “unfounded and pure manipulation.”
  • Brys has maintained a strained relationship with FECAFOOT president Samuel Eto’o since his unilateral appointment by the ministry in April 2024.
  • The unresolved coaching dispute heightens concerns over stability ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco and the critical World Cup qualifying campaign.
