Barely a fortnight after highly charged Confederation of Africa Football Associations (CAF) elections, secretary general Hicham El Amrani has resigned.
The development, as expected has indeed materialized when Amrani tendered in his resignation letter, 10 days after newly elected president Ahmad Ahmad overcame long serving Issa Hayatou via the election held at the election assembly in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Amrani, who took over office in 2011 stated in statement to the CAF Member associations including Uganda’s FUFA;
It is with great regret that I hereby inform you that I am leaving today my position of CAF Secretary GCAFeneral, after eight years spent within the CAF confederation.
These last eight years have been wonderful, enriching and will provided with life-lasting memories.
CAF will always remain part of my heart, and African football will always be dear to me.
The Moroccan administrator has served CAF for the last eight years since September 2011 where he replaced Egyptian Mustapha Fahmy.
He appreciated the outgoing president Issa Hayatou and his executive and wished the new office great deliberations.
