Why Motsepe could quit as Mamelodi Sundowns president - Safa boss Jordaan

Mamelodi Sundowns boss Patrice Motsepe will need to step down at the Chloorkop-based giants if he is elected new Confederation of African Football (Caf) president.

This is according to the South African Football Association (Safa) president Danny Jordaan, who has recently announced that his organisation endorses Motsepe as their Caf presidential candidate.

Jordaan explained that Safa has strict rulings against club owners serving as an association president at the same time.

However, Caf’s constitution does not have such a provision and as such a club owner could serve as president of African football's ruling body.
