Finke will exhaust his contract with the Lions

Many Cameroonians expected Finke to resign after the failed World Cup but he intends to stay to the end of his two-year contract. “My contract is for two years and I had an immediate objective by qualifying the team for the World Cup and also for the African Cup of Nations ”.

As a special guest during the World Cup finals between Argentina and Germany on the national television, Finke showed an outburst on what would be termed Cameroon poor organizational style. Comparing Cameroon and Germany, he said the wives of players and families were in the stadium during the finals contrary to the situation that obtained in the Cameroon Camp in Vitoria.

There was a cacophony around the families of players as it was not clear who had to transport them to the different stadia in Brazil so most watched the games from their hotels.“There was need to ensure that the players are happy, for them to concentrate on playing football.

“The organisation for the player’s families in Vitoria was a bit chaotic and players had to be calling to ascertain if it is possible or not, if there is a flight or not, and a whole lot”, Finke said regrettably.

To him, invited guests and the federation president were not to lodge in the same hotel as the players or take the same flight to the stadium. Finke at a point had to stop the delegation from taking the special flight arranged for the team.

When asked what was different with the German team for them to win the World Cup, Finke said, “ it is the spirit of Cameroon, why is it that the Cameroon team changed after their game in Germany”, he answered.
