However, Kooora have reported that the Portuguese coach will not resign from his position even if Raja lose to the South African champions in Pretoria.

The Portuguese has only registered one win in his 10 games so far this season, which includes seven draws and two defeats.

The report adds that the 52-year-old has already informed club management of his decision, otherwise the club will have to pay him a penalty clause of €500 000 (R9millon).

"Sa Pinto will not leave his position at Raja, even if the Moroccan team loses to Sundowns,"

"Sa Pinto is confident of continuing, due to a clause in his contract that protects him from being fired regardless of the results before the middle of next month, otherwise Raja will pay half a million euros as a penalty clause."
