The former Uefa’s secretary was
first elected president during the 2016 Fifa Extraordinary Congress on February
26 to complete the term of Sepp Blatter.
Blatter was forced out of office
in fallout from corruption investigations, and is now serving a six-year ban
from all footballing activities for financial misconduct.
