UNDER-FIRE Sepp Blatter has been warned to stop “flirting with power” by the man charged with overseeing the next Fifa presidential election.
Blatter caused consternation after he hinted that his time at the top of football’s governing body was not over when he said: “I have not resigned, I put my mandate in the hands of an extraordinary congress.”
But the independent chairman of Fifa’s audit and compliance committee Domenico Scala warned that “the times of flirting with the power are definitely gone.”
And Scala urged Blatter to stick to plan: “I call on all concerned — including Mr Blatter — to endorse in the interest of the reforms unequivocally the announced changing of the guard at the top of Fifa.”
A new Fifa congress and election for Fifa president is expected to take place between December and March.
