FIFA president Infantino told to resign
by Ayeh Offei-Akoto · MyNewsGh.comReal Madrid legend Luis Figo has called on FIFA president Gianni Infantino to resign after the FIFA World Cup stake controversy.
Figo said Infantino has lied and no longer has the support of his senior staff.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, the former Portugal international said, “None of this comes as a surprise when you consider the litany of abuses he has inflicted on football’s reputation; from suspending and reversing disciplinary decisions to breaking the laws of the game over a half-time show, nothing gets in the way of pleasing his friends.
“He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve. He has lost the support of his senior staff.
“It is too late to save his dignity, but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.”
Infantino recently failed in his plan to sell a stake in the World Cup to private investors.
The plan faced strong criticism, with UEFA warning that it would boycott FIFA events if the proposal went ahead.
