GIANNI INFANTINO IS FIFA PRESIDENT!

Fifa has elected Gianni Infantino , a European football administrator born just six miles from Sepp Blatter’s birthplace, as its new president in a bid to restore the reputational damage wrought by his disgraced predecessor. The Uefa general secretary takes over from Sepp Blatter at governing body. Infantino fought off competition from Sheikh Salman and three others. The Swiss-Italian Uefa general secretary only entered the race when Michel Platini was suspended then banned for six years for accepting a “disloyal payment” from Blatter in 2011. But Infantino, who spent €500,000 of Uefa funds on touring the globe in the runup to the election, triumphed over the controversial Asian Football Confederation president, Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa, in the second round of voting by 115 votes to 88.
