Joachim Mununga: from captain with key strategist of indomitable lions in a period of turbulence. Cameroonian news is marked by an institutional crisis between the Federation (Fecafoot) and coach Marc Brys, but in the shadows, Joachim Mununga stands out as a discreet pilot of the Lions Renaissance.
This former Belgian-Congolese international (36), passed by Tubize, Mechelen (where he wore the armband), Turkey and Italy, was at the heart of a controversy in May 2024. .Appointed BRYS assistant by the Ministry of Sports, his legitimacy was first disputed by FECAFOOT, before a compromise in extremis. A soap opera revealing politico-sporting tensions in Cameroon.
Discreet but determined, Mununga relies on his journey as a globetrotter player (33 selections with the DRC in 2011) and his successful retraining: trainer at Oh Louvain, then assistant in Belgian D1, he today embodies the link between European experience and African realities.
While the Indomitable Lions began the CAN 2025 qualifiers in September 2024 and aimed at the 2026 World Cup, its technical and diplomatic role could be an asset. His tactical analysis and leadership, inherited from his captain career, could appease tensions and restore a competitive base to a team in search of identity.
Alongside Brys, he symbolizes the hope of a new start ... under close surveillance. But the coach did not make a request to FECAFOOT on his admission to the sidelines. The Belgian technician remains cold with Fecafoot. Despite the investigation of the Ministry of Sports, Fecafoot seems to want to follow the rules in this area. A request from the coach and a study of his request. .Otherwise, he will remain in the stands despite the threats of resignation from Marc Brys.
