FIFA’s president, Sepp Blatter, has said
he will step down as leader of
football’s governing body, once a new
successor is found.
Blatter said at a press conference on
Tuesday in Zurich that an
extraordinary congress would be
convened to elect a successor as soon
as possible.
The move came just four days after the
79-year-old Swiss national was re-
elected as the organisation’s President
at its annual congress.
“I am now free of the constraints of
the election…I will now be in a
position to enact reforms to follow on
our initial efforts,” Blatter said.
“For many years we have gone to
great lengths and these need to
continue as they have not yet been
sufficient”
