Mutual Respect and Appreciation
Following his sudden retirement from international football, SSC Napoli midfielder André-Frank Zambo Anguissa has issued a classy public response to FECAFOOT President Samuel Eto’o. Reacting to an emotional tribute penned by the federation chief, the 30-year-old midfield anchor expressed his deep gratitude, stating: “Thank you, President. It was an honor to wear the colors of our beautiful country.”
The President’s Original Send-Off
- The Tribute: Eto’o had previously taken to social media to heavily praise Anguissa’s unwavering dedication, calling him an exemplary soldier who always fought valiantly for the Indomitable Lions.
- The Legacy: The FECAFOOT leader highlighted Anguissa’s crucial role in recent major tournaments, including the 2021 AFCON on home soil and the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
- The Blessing: Eto’o concluded his message by wishing the player maximum success in his ongoing club career in Italy.
Closing a Great Chapter
The respectful exchange between the two iconic figures officially puts a peaceful close to Anguissa’s international chapter. Having amassed 67 caps and 5 goals over nearly a decade of service, the powerful box-to-box midfielder leaves the national team on excellent terms with the administration as he shifts his full focus to Serie A football.
