Cameroon Coach Marc Brys Resigns Over Unpaid Salaries Ahead AFCON, World Cup Qualifiers

Marc Brys, the coach of Cameroon's national football team, has been at the center of a controversy regarding his resignation. While the Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT) and the Ministry of Sports have acknowledged a resignation letter citing unpaid salaries for Brys and his staff, Brys himself has publicly denied resigning and claims his email was hacked, disputing the authenticity of the resignation letter. FECAFOOT announced they would respond to the coaching vacancy following the resignation letter, but the Ministry of Sports has confirmed Brys remains in his position. Brys has had a strained relationship with FECAFOOT president Samuel Eto'o since his appointment in April 2024, but his contract is funded by the Ministry of Sports. The situation unfolds as Cameroon prepares for the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco and faces a crucial stage in World Cup 2026 qualification, currently standing second in their qualifying group. The conflicting claims about Brys' status create uncertainty around the leadership of the Indomitable Lions ahead of these important competitions.
