The BBC has reported that Arsene Wenger, the former Arsenal manager and FIFA's director of global football development, is considering a run for the presidency of FIFA to compete with Gianni Infantino.
According to this media, European football officials have been trying to convince Wenger to enter the election race in recent weeks, and this 77-year-old coach is now seriously considering this offer.
However, Wenger's advanced age has raised doubts about his ability to lead world football in the long term. Some of his supporters told the BBC they would support Wenger's candidacy even if he stepped down before the end of his four-year term after winning the election.
The possibility of Wenger entering the election has been raised in a situation where Infantino's position is facing a challenge after the controversy over the failed plan to give the commercial shares of the World Cup to private investors.
UEFA, which was one of the main opponents of this plan, demanded clarification about FIFA's decision-making process. Infantino also apologized for this plan at one of the FIFA Council meetings, but did not provide a clear explanation of how it was formulated.
