Marc Brys has denied he has give up as coach of Cameroon regardless of the nation's soccer federation confirming his exit on Wednesday, because the Belgian stated his electronic mail was seemingly hacked and his alleged resignation letter didn't come from him.
It's the newest twist in a long-running battle between Brys and the Cameroon Soccer Federation (Fecafoot) since his appointment by the nation's sports activities ministry in April 2024.
A letter dated 21 July, supposedly from Brys to the sports activities ministry and FECAFOOT, stated he had made the choice to terminate his contract “because of the non-payment of my remuneration and that of my employees for greater than 60 days.”
When the letter got here into the general public area on Wednesday, FECAFOOT stated in an announcement they'd famous the resignation and would “implement a coordinated response to mitigate the affect of this emptiness on the head of the nationwide crew's technical employees.“
Nonetheless, Brys later stated in a letter to the sports activities ministry that his electronic mail had seemingly been hacked, and that he had not resigned.
Cameroon's sports activities ministry confirmed that Brys remained in his position. FECAFOOT has not responded to the coach's denial.
It comes 5 months earlier than the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco and with Cameroon's qualification for the 2026 World Cup undecided.
Brys has had a testy relationship with FECAFOOT president Samuel Eto'o since taking the job final 12 months, however his place is funded by the Ministry of Sports activities and Bodily Schooling.
Cameroon have been drawn in a bunch with defending champions Ivory Coast, Gabon and Mozambique on the December 21-January 18 finals of the AFCON.
They're now second of their qualifying pool for subsequent 12 months's World Cup in the US, Mexico and Canada, some extent behind Cape Verde with 4 rounds remaining.
Solely the highest crew robotically earns their place on the finals, with Cameroon set for a crunch tie away in opposition to Cape Verde in September.
The qualification marketing campaign will conclude in October.
