CAMEROON :: Why Joaquim Mununga, Marc Brys’ assistant, is no longer qualified on the Lions bench :: CAMEROON
Assistant to Marc Brys, Joaquim Munungait will no longer be warranted to work on the side with the Impotent lions. Appointed as an assistant coach, Mununga will no longer be able to fulfill this role because, according to the current rules, this position does not exist as such in the group competitions. CAF.
In reality, the role of an assistant coach is to monitor the game from the stands, take notes, and then pass them on to the coach at half time. Despite this, the FECAFOOT had allowed Mununga to remain on the bench in previous games. However, during the last game, the Commissioner pointed out how useful his presence was on the bench and asked that he be put back in the stands, according to strict competition rules.
The competition rules provide for between 18 and 19 places on the sidelines, including the technical staff and players listed on the match sheet. The number of players allowed to appear varies between 11 and 13, thus leaving only 6 or 7 places for technical support. Here is the planned release:
– 01 head coach,
– 02 assistants,
– 01 doctor,
– 01 physical trainer,
– 01 goalkeeper coach,
– 01 team manager.
An analysis of official CAF documents shows that these rules are strictly enforced at competitions. This change shows that the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT), so far, has shown good intentions and flexibility. However, the obligation to respect the texts involved within the framework of international competitions cannot be neglected.
In conclusion, although Joaquim Mununga can no longer take a place on the bench, this can be explained by the strict implementation of the rules of sports management.
