Cameroon: Coton Sports fires coach Birwe Minkreo

-
Placed 10th on the overall classification table with 5 points, the management of Coton Sports of Garoua has decided to put an end to the contract of its coach Birwe Minkreo who was in his 2ndseason as head coach of the Garoua based club.
Coton Sports has recently recorded a series of poor results; snatching a 4-4 draw at home to APEJES of Mfou after 10 minutes of extra time. A humiliating home defeat 0-1 last Sunday 25th February against AS Fortuna (new comers of the Elite league), left the coach in a delicate position.
Birwe, who last season earned a second-place non-qualifier for the African competitions, was already on the hot seat after a disastrous African Champions League campagne (0 points out of 18 possible in the group phase).
The club administration exposed below the reasons for his exit:
– In view of the poor results that Coton Sport FC recorded last season both in the league, in the cup of Cameroon Cup and in the group stage of the African Champions League;
– Given the unsatisfactory results that the club has recorded in the league since the beginning of this 2018 sports season.
Coton Sport FC breaks its collaboration with the head coach BIRWE MINKREO, today, February 26, 2018, in accordance with Article 1 paragraph C of the employment contract that binds the club to the latter.
As a result, Oussoumanou Christophe is appointed as interim head coach.
Beyond the eviction of the coach taken as the scapegoat, club managers and fans of Coton Sports FC should learn to be patient and build a sports project that would last over time.
Birwe had begun putting in place a well balanced team composed of a clever mix of old, new and young players graduating from the training center.
In addition, the club does no longer have the Financial strength it used to have decades behind to build a great team which will justify the demand for immediate results from its coaches.
Other coaches of the Mtn Elite One Championship are already under pressure and it’s just a matter of time to see others lose their job!

Talk about a player that has been transformed to a match winner for YOSA this season and Akoti’s name immediately comes to mind. The former Best Stars Academy and Dragon Yaoundé forward has been on a steady improvement in form since he moved to Bamenda from Dragon Yaoundé. The little magician has been a regular this season for Doumbe Bosso providing 4 assists (The most for any YOSA player) amongst which include winning a Konyuy Jude converted penalty in Bamenda against Feutcheu FC,a missed penalty in Yaounde against Colombe.
