Eto'o Offers Resignation As FECAFOOT President, Response Given!

Eto'o Offers Resignation As FECAFOOT President, Response Given!

Samuel Etoo has offered to resign as Cameroon's football president.

The Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT) has responded to Samuel Eto'o's offer to resign as the body's president following the Indomitable Lions' underwhelming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations performances.

As revealed by the federation on Monday, the former Barcelona and Inter Milan forward had his offer to step down from his role rejected by FECAFOOT's executive committee.

Cameroon crashed out of the Africa Cup of Nations in the Ivory Coast following a round of 16 defeat to Nigeria, who play South Africa in the semi-finals on Wednesday.

"At the end of discussions and subsequent deliberations, the members of the executive committee decided to maintain their current mandates and thus unanimously rejected the president's resignation thereby renewing their confidence in him to continue with the same spirit of reconstruction and development of Cameroon football at all levels as envisaged in his plan adopted by the elective general assembly of Dec. 11, 2021," a statement read, according to Associated Press.

While Eto'o's time in charge has coincided with poor form in major competitions for the national team, the four-time winner of the African Player of the Year award has also been accused of match-fixing and corruption.

The Athletic reported last week that it had seen messages, emails and letters, and heard audio recordings that reportedly support those allegations against the 42-year-old, with the Confederation of African Football currently investigating the matter.

Uncertainty remains over Cameroon head coach Rigobert Song's future, although no decision appears to have been made on the former centre-back.
