Marc Brys (born 10 May 1962) is a Belgian football manager and former player, who is the current manager of the Cameroon national team.

Career

His coaching career took off at Belgian club Berchem Sport, which he guided to the championship of the Belgian fourth and third divisions. After this success, Brys took over the first-division club Germinal Beerschot.

In his first year, with the smallest competition budget, Germinal finished 7th, although 75% of Belgian coaches predicted that the club would be relegated. In May 2005, during his second year, Brys took Germinal to a 2–1 victory over Club Brugge in the Belgian Cup, the first and only prize Germinal would win in its history. Germinal participated in the 2005–06 UEFA Cup but was eliminated by Olympique de Marseille on penalty kicks.

In 2006–07 Brys coached Royal Mouscron-Péruwelz, where he was fired despite finishing in seventh place. He subsequently coached in Holland at FC Eindhoven and Den Bosch.

In 2010 Brys signed for two years with KV Mechelen. In his first year, the club attained the highest point total in itshistory.

In 2012 Brys managed Saudi club Al-Faisaly FC (Harmah). He reached the semi-finals of the Crown Prince Cup and became group winner of the Gulf Cup. In his second season, however, he was fired and took over the Club Al-Raed for the last four games of the competition. He managed to keep them in the First League with two wins and two draws.

Following a stint of over three seasons, Brys was finally sacked at OH Leuven in October 2023 and retired, settling with his wife in his home in Crete. Six months later however, Brys signed for Cameroon, following in the footsteps of fellow Belgian manager Hugo Broos who had already lead the team in 2016 & 2017. Brys also stated he had denied offers from other African nations such as Ghana and Tunisia.
