Sepp Blatter has sensationally announced his
intention to resign as the head of FIFA after a 17-year career that has ended
in infamy. In an astonishing announcement at FIFA HQ in Zurich
this evening, Blatter revealed that he will call an emergency congress of FIFA
executives to vote in his replacement.
While no timetable has yet been set for the
election, officials have said it could take place any time between December
this year and March next year. Blatter will continue in his role until then. At an earlier press conference, Blatter said: 'I have been reflecting deeply about my presidency and
about the forty years in which my life has been inextricably bound to FIFA and
the great sport of football. I cherish FIFA more than anything and I want to do
only what is best for FIFA and for football.
