    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The move is the latest chaotic saga for Cameroon following the clash between Eto'o and Brys that also saw a ministry official kicked out of the 'working session' ahead of a pair of World Cup qualifiers at the start of June. Brys' initial appointment had drawn an angry statement from Fecafoot after being made without any input from the federation. Eto'o, meanwhile, has previously been accused of match-fixing, inciting violence and making threats in a file sent to FIFA's Ethics Committee.

  • WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

    A statement from Fecafoot has confirmed the news and stated Brys has been replaced due to "inappropriate behaviour" and "disrespectful comments". Brys also stands accused of "an outright refusal to collaborate".
