VIDEO: Samuel Eto'o in furious showdown with new Cameroon coach Marc Brys as ex-Barcelona & Chelsea star kicks ministry official out of 'working session' ahead of World Cup qualifiers

Cameroon's preparations for their latest 2026 World Cup qualifiers have been overshadowed by a row between former Chelsea and Barcelona star Eto'o and the team's new Belgian coach Brys. Eto'o was filmed initially welcoming Brys but the meeting quickly turned ugly. The Cameroon president kicked out a ministry official who tried to attend before being seen in a heated exchange with Brys.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">🚨 Samuel Eto’o a eu une vive altercation avec Marc Brys, sélectionneur du Cameroun. 🇨🇲😳 «&nbsp;Je suis le président, vous me parlez pas comme ça. Vous pensez que je peux faire ça en Belgique ? Alors comment vous pensez que vous pouvez faire ça au Cameroun ?&nbsp;»<a href="https://t.co/ukTjpru8Ch">pic.twitter.com/ukTjpru8Ch</a>— Instant Foot ⚽️ (@lnstantFoot) <a href="https://twitter.com/lnstantFoot/status/1795419964511306092?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 28, 2024</a></blockquote>

WATCH THE CLIP

Eto'o was allegedly heard saying to Brys: “I’m the president, you don’t talk to me like that. Do you think I can do this in Belgium? So how do you think you can do this in Cameroon?"

WHAT ETO'O SAID

Brys was appointed as the new head coach of the Indomitable Lions in April in a decision that took the the Cameroonian Football Federation by surprise. A statement on social media read: "The Cameroonian Football Federation learned, at the same time as all Cameroonians, of the appointment to positions of responsibility within the national senior men's football selection."The 61-year-old Belgian was then invited to a 'working session' by Eto'o, where the confrontation took place, and seems to show the ill-feeling currently felt in the Cameroon camp. This is the latest controversy involving Eto'o. The former striker has also been accused of <a href="h-fixing-abuse-power-claims/blt207a32db61085c73#csa06c0cc47f395c55" target="_blank">allegedly making threats and match-fixing</a> in a file sent to FIFA's Ethics Committee.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Cameroon are due to play two World Cup 2026 qualifiers in June. The Indomitable Lions host the Cape Verde Islands on June 8 and then head to Angola three days later. The team currently top Group D on goal difference ahead of Cape Verde and Libya with four points from two games.
