FIFA President Sepp Blatter reportedly reconsidering resignation
Source: LA Times
FIFA President Sepp Blatter stunned the world with his decision to resign from the top post of the world soccer governing body earlier this month. Now, he's apparently reconsidering.
According to a report from the Swiss newspaper Schweiz am Sonntag, which cited unnamed sources, Blatter is considering the reversal in course because of support he has received from Africa and Asia.
The reported move by Blatter prompted Domenico Scala, who is in charge of the presidential election, to warn the 79-year-old not to go back on his promise to resign.
"For me, the reforms are the central topic," Scala said in a statement. "That is why I think it is clearly indispensable to follow through with the initiated process of leadership change as it has been announced."
The FIFA executive committee is set to meet July 20 to determine the date of the next election.
