FOOTBALL Cameroon coach Ribogert Song finally given his marching orders
Cameroon legend Rigobert Song has been relieved of his duties as the Indomitable Lions coach following an underwhelming two-year reign.
Eto'o's confrontation with CAF stems from accusations levied against him by a group of Cameroonian football stakeholders.
They reported the FECAFOOT president to the continental body, alleging his involvement in a series of misconducts.
CAF, responding to these claims, initiated an investigation into Eto'o's activities, a move he has vehemently criticized.
"I was never questioned about those accusations. I instructed my lawyers to sue CAF. It was too easy to tarnish everything I had built during these years in football," Eto'o stated, expressing his discontent with CAF's premature announcement of the investigation.

Eto'o has often highlighted the political interference in Cameroon's football, attributing much of his troubles to perceived presidential ambitions, especially given his public support for current President Paul Biya and his attendance at George Weah's presidential inauguration in Liberia.
