Jurgen Klopp, the head coach of the German national soccer team, said on Sunday before the match with the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League that Gianni Infantino should be removed from the FIFA presidency. According to Klopp, his performance has made the state of world football's governing body even worse than it was under Sepp Blatter, the controversial former FIFA president.
According to Reuters, Klopp said the current state of FIFA is probably even worse than the Blatter era. Blatter resigned following a corruption scandal and was later criminally prosecuted.
Klopp said in this press conference: "Everyone agrees that a change can be the right decision. "I didn't think things could get any worse after Sepp Blatter, but someone managed to do exactly that."
Gianni Infantino was elected FIFA president in 2016 after the corruption scandal that led to the end of Blatter's tenure.
Klopp said: "We think that if Infantino leaves, maybe the next person can perform better. I think FIFA can be run better. "There are definitely people who care about the future of football and have no financial interest in it."
