Botswana Football Association (BFA) technical director, Serame Letsoaka has announced that he is leaving his position after a year at the helm amid allegations that he was on his way to the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

The South African mentor, however, has denied rumours related to his alleged departure to join (CAF) on a fulltime basis.

As a result I will be in a way leaving BFA, but not leaving BFA.

If I am rarely here working and getting a salary, it is really not fair for me to be here while I do all this work for FIFA and CAF while getting a salary here,” he said.
