Experts’ views on Samuel Eto‘o Fils possible future

At the age of 38, the most accomplished African footballer of the century, Samuel Eto’o calls time on his career

 

“THE END. TOWARDS A NEW CHALLENGE …Thank you all big love, adrenaline.” Eto’o wrote on his Instagram page.

“I need time to rest. I have been known for 24 years. I think I need to take this advantage now and spend time with my wife and my children”, Eto’o made this declaration to the press on his working visit to Kinshasa,Congo

This was to say he has ended his career, a career that spanned over two decades and has taken him from glory to glory. The football legend leaves the turf with one of the best records in the history of football.

The four time African player of the year counts two Africa Cup of Nations titles and an Olympic gold medal to his name. With all these and more, Eto’o is an undisputed icon and one of the greatest African footballers.He retires with 56 goals in 118 games for his country, Cameroon.

The announcement on Instagram met with tens of thousands of messages expressing love to one of the most celebrated African footballer in history.

As the world is still struggling to get over this, bookmakers and football lovers have already predicted a possible future for the living football legend.

Enow Ngatchu, Director of ANAFOOT and Coach

I have not had a chat with Samuel Eto’o yet but I just want to thank him for what he has done to Cameroon, Africa and the World of football.
Players like Eto’o are rare to find and all i know is that, it a reward to hard work.
He has made many young people in the world to nurse dreams in football and for sure many are already in the profession.
I can only join the world to wish Eto’o luck in his endeavours and his new found passion.

Eto said he will dedicate some time to his family and see what to do in the new future.
I think he could convert into coaching like Rigobert Song but he will have to go to school for refresher courses on coaching.
Being a player doesn’t make you a coach, I am convinced Eto’o can make a good coach if he is trained.
In his last days in Antalyspor and Konyaspor clubs all in Turkey, Samuel Eto’o was doing some background coaching already.
George Weah became a president after his football career, maybe Eto’o will like to be become the president of Cameroon too.
Honestly ,there are soo many options for Eto’o Fils but many players should think of a future plan even before retiring.

Victorine Fomun, Coach and Sports Consultant

It is laudable to have a player like Samuel Eto’o Fils with the aura and magnitude in the field of play.
I hope his retirement from the turf will give him another chance to fit into the society.

Engelbert Mbarga, Former Coach and Football Consultant

Samuel Eto’o Fils simply just closed a page and opened a new one in his life. He worked soo hard to be where he is today and for sure no door can be closed before him.
The football legend can be a good football tactician and for that I am certain he will make a good career in it.
In other domains, Eto’o can be a football administrator or management because he has spent almost half of his lifetime working closely with football experts.
