Overview

  • Fecafoot, led by Samuel Eto'o, announced on Dec. 1 the dismissal of Marc Brys and installed David Pagou as head coach.
  • Marc Brys rejects the sacking, says only the Ministry of Sports can terminate his contract, and has issued his own 28-man list.
  • With AFCON starting Dec. 21 and Cameroon opening on Dec. 24 in Agadir, the team faces uncertainty with two coaches and competing call-ups.
  • The official Pagou squad omits André Onana, Vincent Aboubakar and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, all of whom appear on Brys's list.
  • A federation communiqué cited multiple procedural breaches for Brys's removal, while media report allegations that Eto'o influenced Aboubakar's exclusion for personal reasons.
