Sepp Blatter: I expected a tribute at Fifa congress
Sepp Blatter expected his work at Fifa to receive greater praise at last month’s presidential elections and says he wants due recognition in the future.
The former Fifa president, who celebrated his 80th birthday on Thursday, also claimed he had discovered who his real friends were following the imposition of a six-year ban from all football-related activity.
Blatter was succeeded as president at world football’s governing body by his fellow Swiss Gianni Infantino at an extraordinary congress on 26 February.
In an interview with the Swiss newspaper Blick, Blatter, who revealed he watched the congress at home on an iPad with his daughter Corinne, said: “I think that I would have disturbed congress a little, if I had been there.
“But I had expected that at the least something about my work would have been said by the congress leader at the beginning or the end. ‘Not even a bye-bye,’ wrote a journalist aptly. Yes, two candidates mentioned me – one who withdrew [Tokyo Sexwale] and another who had few votes [Jérôme Champagne].”
Swiss police have raided UEFA's headquarters in Nyon after new FIFA president Gianno Infantino's signature reportedly featured on documents leaked from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.
Infantino, who categorically denies any wrongdoing, says he is "dismayed"and "will not accept" that his integrity is being doubted.
