Reportedly, on Saturday, April 06, 2024 the Emergency Committee of FECAFOOT gave the President of the team Samuel Eto’o 72 hours to submit a proposal for the appointment of a new coaching staff for the national football team of Cameroon ‘Indomitable Lions’.
Due to the long ongoing feud between the team and his previous coach Rigobert Song ‘FECAFOOT’ has not updated anyone with any information regarding the new coach. Hence, the appointment of Marc Brys as the new coach was completely rebuffed and delayed.
Upon getting appointed as the new coach for the FECAFOOT team Marc Brys stated anxiously that he is curious and would like to start again.
He added to his statement that they all are ready to put the things in place. “I was very happy with the selection process as it was very professional,” expressed Marc Brys.
