The president of the Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT) Samuel Eto’o Fils, has opened up about his intentions to sue the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
During his interview on France24, the former Indomitable Lions striker and captain, revealed that the contract of Rigobert Song who was in charge of Cameroons national soccer team, was not going to be extended, following a series of unconvincing performances since taking over as the head coach of the Indomitable Lions.
Samuel, explained the reasons for not extending Rigobert Song’s contract after it came to an end on February 28th.
Elsewhere, the former Barcelona striker and Africa’s most decorated soccer star of all times, expressed his dissatisfaction with CAF.
According to Eto’o, CAF didn’t question him before launching an investigation following match fixing allegations in the Cameroon Elite One league, a gesture he considers disrespectful and ridiculous.
“I was never questioned. They issued a press release to say that an investigation had been opened, but I was never questioned about what I was accused of. For more than 22 years the only thing I could do was play football, and for those who know me, I have always respected fair play, and it was not by becoming president of the federation that this attitude will change. We become great when we respect others, and especially when we lose. And so I have mandated my lawyers to press charges against CAF, so that responsibilities could be established. It was too easy to stain everything I had built during these few years in the world of football,” Eto’o told France 24, via Ade Divine
Eto’o believes that everyone has to take responsibility for their actions, and CAF will have his lawyers to deal with.
