Technical Bench Interim Confirmed
The Director General of Canon Sportif de Yaoundé, Aloys Etoundi, held a major press conference on Saturday to clarify the growing administrative storm surrounding the club ahead of the new MTN Élite One season. Addressing the status of head coach Patrice Noukeu, Etoundi stated that the UEFA Pro licensed tactician remains the club’s main coach despite his ongoing disciplinary suspension and contract freeze. Pending final administrative regularization, his assistant, Mardochée Ngaba, will officially continue to steer the squad as interim manager.
Financial Audits Reveal Irregularities
- Salary Arrears: In a bid to clean up the club’s image, the board has formally committed to settling all legitimate salary backlogs claimed by former players.
- Contractual Flaws: An extensive internal audit uncovered widespread management irregularities under previous frameworks, notably the presence of conflicting parallel contracts and massive inconsistencies regarding player signing bonuses.
- Gradual Transition: The Kpa-Kum executive team announced a structured roadmap to gradually regularize these discrepancies to restore financial health to the Nkolndongo-based heavyweights.
Legal Updates on Key Player Cases
The club’s legal department has been heavily active in resolving various domestic and international dispute files. Management confirmed that it has officially settled its outstanding financial debt with Togolese midfielder Cofie Madje Koudeka, satisfying FIFA guidelines to clear their recruitment embargo. Conversely, the club is fiercely contesting a 5 million FCFA claim lodged by Edgard Minga. Furthermore, Canon is awaiting formal documentation from FECAFOOT regarding the dispute with Guy Serge Edoa to aggressively mobilize its legal defense.
