No general secretary proposal by Infantino at FIFA congress

0

FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, on Tuesday said he would not propose a candidate for the position of general secretary at next week’s congress of the ruling football body in Mexico City.
Infantino said at the congress of Europe’s body UEFA, that he would stick to his plan and decide the matter “this summer’’.

He said that he had a few ideas who could qualify for the important position.

According to reports, FIFA president can propose a candidate, but the general secretary is picked by the new FIFA council which replaces the executive committee as part of a reform programme.

The Swiss Infantino, who was elected in February, had so far only said that the general secretary should be from outside Europe.
German-Swiss Markus Kattner is the acting general secretary after Frenchman Jerome Valcke left over ethics rules violations.
