Haan threatens Fifa action (14.12.2006)

Cameroon coach Arie Haan has threatened to report his employers to Fifa over claims that he has been absent from his post for the past two months.
Officials of Cameroon`s football federation, FECAFOOT, said on Tuesday that the Dutchman has not been at post since October and that his absence contravenes the terms of his contract.
But Haan says he has postponed his return to the central African country until FECAFOOT retracts the statement.
"I want the FECAFOOT to officially withdraw the statement or I will go to Fifa. I cannot accept this," Haan told the Cameroon Tribune on Thursday.
"They already admitted that they know I was in Vietnam (in November to monitor the players of the Cameroon Olympic team during the BV Cup).
"How can FECAFOOT officials say they don`t know where I am and what I am doing?
"This is a catastrophe for me because the news has gone across the
globe."
Haan also denied the allegation that he turned down friendly games against France and Brazil.
"The issue about the friendly matches is also a lie. I never refused a game, especially not against Brazil or France," Haan said.
"I asked at the beginning of September for a match on 15 November but they (FECAFOOT) were not able to organise something.
Haan`s contract stipulates that he should be resident in Cameroon but the Dutchman says he has not been provided with a stable accommodation.
"As for permanent residence in Cameroon, there is no problem but I still don`t have a house or apartment."
Haan signed a two-year contract in August with the promise of a renewal if Cameroon`s Indomitable Lions qualified for the 2008 African Nations Cup tournament in Ghana.
He succeeded Portuguese Artur Jorge who quit in February after the former African champions failed to clinch a place at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
