Frenchman Hervé Renard was on the list of three coaches proposed last April by Fecafoot to the Ministry of Sport and Physical Education, with a view to replacing Rigobert Song at the helm of Cameroon's Indomitable Lions. The current coach of the French women's team claims never to have mentioned the salary for leading the Cameroon national team.
Hervé Renard breaks silence
« I haven't 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 asked for an advance on his salary. These are lies,” he told Jeune Afrique.
Narcisse Mouellé Kombi
However, in a letter dated April 6, 2024, from Sports Minister Narcisse Mouellé Kombi to the President of Fecafoot, it was revealed to the Cameroonian people that the list of three coaches proposed by the President of Fecafoot for the position of coach of the Indomitable Lions included a huge budget of 1.6 billion per year. The list included such well-known names as Hervé Renard, José Peseiro and Canavaro. The Minister was in a hurry to appoint a technical staff, which to date remains disputed.
The day after the new technical staff appointed by Minister Narcisse Mouellé Kombi was announced, an emergency committee of the federation met and recommended that the President of the federation submit a list of proposals for the appointment of a new Indomitable Lions technical staff. How are we to understand this never-ending quarrel between the state and the federation? If Hervé Renard claims not to have discussed the financing of his salary, what could explain such an amount? The quarrels continue, and the matter is far from over. For good reason, the Ministry of Sport and Physical Education reveals that if the French coach's candidacy had been selected by the State of Cameroon under the proposed conditions Hervé Renard would earn a salary 06 times higher than that which he earns with the French women's team, which he has expressed his intention to leave next August after the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris in which his team will be taking part.
White wizard Hervé Renard's salary demands
Hervé Renard's annual salary is estimated at 400,000 Euros a year, or 260 million FCFA. In Cameroon, he would have earned 1.6 billion FCFA, 6 times more than his salary in France. At the head of the French women's team, Herve Renard earned 265 million FCFA a year. In Saudi Arabia, he earned 721 million FCFA a year. This is a new twist in the situation facing our soccer. I hope that interests will be put aside and that only soccer will triumph.
