Carney, Figo Call for Infantino Resign

Canadian PM Mark Carney has expressed no confidence in FIFA president Gianni Infantino, following Luís Figo's call for his resignation.

Canadian prime minister Mark Carney on Wednesday said he had no confidence in Gianni Infantino's leadership of FIFA, after the Portugal legend Luís Figo called for the president to resign 'to save football'. Figo described Infantino's plan to sell stakes in the World Cup as 'the lowest, most deceitful and cravenly self-interested behaviour I have ever witnessed'.

Carney, former governor of the Bank of England, is close to Concacaf president Victor Montagliani, who is being urged to run against Infantino in next year's FIFA presidential election. amunra-online.pl
