CAF’s vice president, Amaju Pinnick has been dismissed from his role as a vice-president of the Confederation of African Football (Caf) and replaced by South Africa’s Danny Jordaan.
No reason was given for his removal by CAF President Ahmad, who signed an agreement with FIFA President Gianni Infantino today to confirm the appointment of Fifa Secretary General Fatma Samoura as a General Delegate for Africa.
In a statement, Pinnick said he is grateful for the opportunity to serve as the number two football administrator in the entire African continent.
He also said that his commitment to the game is perpetual while his support for his colleagues in the Executive Committee remains steadfast.
Pinnick’s exit means a reshuffling of Ahmad’s vice-presidents, with Constant Omari of DR Congo and Moroccan Faouzi Lekjaa moving up from second and third vice-president respectively.
