Gianni Infantino, who is the new head of world football – ANSA.it

Infantino, born and raised in Switzerland, has Italian origins: the original father of the Calabria, the mother of the Valcamonica. In the press conference did not fail to thank my friend Michel Platini: “I have a very strong thought for him. I thank him for the nine years during which we worked together.” Inter fan, the man chosen for the ‘renewal’ of world football, overwhelmed by scandals, has before him a very difficult mission. But Infantino said he was certain to succeed: “conquer the respect with the work and the world will applaud us”, his words to the audience. “I want a big football development in all countries. I am not the president of Europe but of the whole movement.”

One thing is certain: if Joao Havelange had led FIFA for 20 years and Blatter to 17, the newly elected shall not exceed three mandates, according to the reforms adopted in the morning right from the congress. Since the first term will last just over three years (since the ‘substitution’ to that of Blatter, who resigned before being disqualified), with the next election scheduled in 2019, the Italian-Swiss will remain at the helm of FIFA for a maximum of 11 years. His salary will be made public, as well as that of other top executives of FIFA. Also according to the voted reforms by Congress, even his power will be limited.

In fact chaired a council (which will replace the Executive) of 37 people – of which at least six women, one for confederation – which role will be primarily strategic. It will direct the global political football, but the operating side – in particular the sale of TV and commercial rights – it will be up to the administration of FIFA, led by Secretary-General. These ” will not be a European ”, has ensured Infantino. Among other reforms, include greater control of financial flows and integrity exams more ‘pushed for the members of FIFA. The number of standing committees will drop from 26 to 9, but with the creation of an entity that will bring together representatives of all the components of the football world.
