Jean Bruno Tagne Blasts Samuel Eto'o Over KSA Relegation and Fine

As reported in a recent article by Lebledparle.com, the Littoral Regional Homologation and Discipline Commission declared the Kadji Sport Academy, chaired by Gilbert Kadji, in default due to its repeated absence in the 5th, 6th, and 7th matchdays of the championship. 

The Academy justified its absence by alleging that the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT), under Samuel Eto’o’s leadership, "refused to issue licenses to the club’s players."

The Commission unanimously ruled the club guilty of two defaults in the championship and relegated it by two divisions. Additionally, Gilbert Kadji, the club president, was suspended for five years and fined 5 million FCFA. He is barred from being a member of the Board of Directors of any affiliated club or any body of the Federation or its Leagues.

In a sharp reaction, journalist Jean Bruno Tagne, who was Eto’o’s campaign manager during his election to Fécafoot, strongly criticized Eto’o on social media.

"All real federations in the world strive to have the maximum number of licensees. In the one led by the Beninois from Tsinga (referring to Samuel Eto’o), they fight not to have any. INCOMPETENCE!" he fumed on social media.

Tagne's comments highlight a deepening rift within the football community regarding Eto’o’s management of Fécafoot, particularly in terms of administrative decisions affecting club participation and player licensing.
