Coach Hervé Renard returned to the supposed salary demands which he would have shared with Cameroonian decision-makers, then looking for a coach for the Indomitable Lions.
Collateral victim of the struggle for influence between Samuel Eto’o, the president of the Federation Cameroonian football (Fecafoot), and the Cameroonian Minister of Sports (Minsep), Narcisse Mouelle Kombi, last April, Hervé Renard denied the government’s allegations according to which he demanded an exorbitant salary, up to 200,000 euros per month.
“I have not had any financial discussions with anyone. I met Samuel Eto’o in France, but at no time did we talk about money. I also read that I had requested an advance on this salary. These are lies”initially clarified the 56-year-old technician.
During an interview given to The World Africathe new coach of Saudi Arabia added another layer. The opportunity to settle accounts once and for all with the Cameroonian State.
“It was totally false”
“What annoyed me was that people said I was asking for a lot of money. It was said that I asked for 200,000 euros per month! However, this was completely false since there had been no financial discussion with Samuel Eto’o whom I had met in France”reiterated the man in the white blouse.
Then to firmly express his disapproval: “There are people who find it convenient to make people believe that I am expensive. I didn’t like this way of proceeding. It’s not honest. » This is likely to discredit Minsep, now seen as an entity ready to do anything to remove Eto’o from the process of appointing the coach.
