`Schaefer not up to job` (22.11.2004)
Winfried Schaefer was sacked as Cameroon`s national coach because he was not up to the job, the country`s sports minister Siegfried Etame Massoma has claimed.
Schaefer, who was contracted to Cameroon until 2006, was sacked after a 3-0 thrashing by Germany in a friendly in Leipzig last week.
And Etame Massoma claimed that the 54-year-old German was given the boot because he had not lived up to his contractual obligations.
"Winfried Schaefer accumulated weakness and failure," Etame Massoma told the daily Cameroon Tribune.
"He failed in a certain number of contractual obligations, notably in relation to the search for new players to take over from the old guard," he said.
"It`s not surprising that people still talk about an aging Lions team which lacks any
answer to their rivals.
"The coach lacked the technical and tactical inspiration to ensure qualification for the 2006 World Cup and African Nations Cup, which is now in the balance."
Etame Massoma also claimed that Schaefer had not complied with his contract stipulation to reside in Cameroon.
He added that the coach was "always missing from team technical meetings" and recently abandoned the team in Sudan.
Schaefer was hired by Cameroon in September 2001 and promptly lifted the 2002 African Cup of Nations title but things have gone wrong since then.
He was criticised as the Africans crashed out of the 2002 World Cup at the group stage and the 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign has also stuttered with the Ivory Coast four points ahead of the Indomitable Lions.
