Ghana Legend Anthony Baffoe is set to leave his post as CAF’s Deputy General Secretary at the end of the month of June 2021.

Baffoe, who took up the role in 2017, has spearheaded football development across the continent since taking charge of his role.

According to a statement released by CAF, the decision to resign from his post was due to personal reasons.

“This was a decision I took three months ago due to personal reasons. The journey which started in November 2017 sadly ends, giving way to the start of a fresh journey. I count myself lucky to have served CAF and being at the forefront of the administration of the game on the continent. Praise be to Almighty Allah. I am grateful to the CAF Executive Committee led by Patrice Motsepe for the opportunity, not forgetting former CAF President Ahmad Ahmad for seeing the potential in me at first hand.” – Baffoe said

“I leave with my head high as together with your support we achieved many milestones and crossed many hurdles as far as the development and promotion of African football is concerned. As the first footballer to serve in such a senior management position, I am convinced I won’t be the last. My fellow legends, thanks for the support and my family for always being my Rock.” – He added.

CAF through it’s Secretary General, Veron Mosengo-Omba expressed their gratitude for his services to the association and wished Baffoe well in his future endeavors
