FIFA : Sepp Blatter qualifie Gianni Infantino de « dictateur » et réclame des limites
Relations between Sepp Blatter and Gianni Infantino are far from amicable. The former FIFA boss has once again strongly criticized his successor, going so far as to compare him to a dictator in an interview with the German magazine "Der Spiegel".
At the helm of FIFA, the world football governing body, from 1998 to 2015, the Swiss executive clearly hasn't gotten over Gianni Infantino's exercise of power since taking over as president. In his statements, Blatter describes a president who, in his view, imposes absolute authority within FIFA.
"He's a dictator," he declared, before relaying some testimonies from within the organization. "People at FIFA tell me that nobody is allowed to take the elevator with him. He's untouchable," he asserted.
Sepp Blatter went even further in his criticism, claiming that his successor had lost all sense of boundaries. "Infantino no longer knows any limits. He doesn't understand any of this. Perhaps he should be sent to a psychiatric hospital for a while," he added.
These statements were made in the context of the FIFA Forward Enterprise project, which was ultimately abandoned. This project aimed to open up the capital of certain FIFA competitions to private investors. The initiative sparked questions and criticism, and the former president was interviewed about it by the German media.
