The newly appointed coach of the Indomitable Lions, Marc Brys, arrived in Yaounde on Sunday evening, to a warm reception from fans and state authorities at the Nsimalen International Airport.

‘I wish to commend the officials for the professionalism in the selection process’ the Belgian highlighted in his first words. He expressed excitement, saying he is ready to start his job with the Indomitable Lions.

His appointment came on the heels of over a month of uncertainty about the selection of a new national team coach after Rigobert Song’s departure in February.

The 61-year-old is considered the choice of the government, given that the Cameroon Football Federation has refused to recognize his appointment on grounds that the federation was not aware of the process and that it was illegal for the state to take a unilateral decision.

The federation has maintained its stance against the appointment and has engaged in a search for its own coaching staff.

Meantime, coach Marc Brys is expected to sign his contrac
t this Monday, which will likely not involve FECAFOOT.
