FIFA’s Infantino ‘must go, no ifs or buts’, blasts German FA vice president
Hans-Joachim Watzke, one of German football's vice-presidents, adds to list calling for Gianni Infantino's resignation.
Gianni Infantino must leave the FIFA presidency “no ifs or buts”, according to Hans-Joachim Watzke, one of the vice presidents of the German Football Association (DFB), as he spoke at a festival dedicated to artificial intelligence in Berlin.
The DFB was one of the few federations not to sign a letter of support for Infantino’s re-election as FIFA president in six months’ time.
“He has to go, no ifs or buts,” declared Watzke, who said late on Thursday that three points in particular counted against the Swiss.
“It can’t be that when someone gets sent off, the head of state calls the FIFA president, and, remarkably, the whole thing is immediately overturned. That’s madness,” said Watzke.
