Cameroon Football Federation REJECT Samuel Eto'o's resignation as president after disappointing AFCON last-16 exit... with the former striker overseeing several controversial moments during his tenure

Samuel Eto'o has seen his attempts to resign from his role as president of the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) rejected.

Eto'o, one of the greatest Cameroonian footballers in all-time, scored 56 goals in 118 caps for his country.

After a hugely impressive career for the likes of Barcelona, Inter Milan and Chelsea, the former striker - who won the Champions League three times and AFCON twice - took on the presidency of Fecafoot in December 2021.

However, his reign hasn't been plane sailing with several controversial moments over the past two-and-a-bit years.
