Infantino should have no place in future of football - Pinto
The computer hacker who released documents which led to the Premier League investigation into Manchester City says Gianni Infantino "should have no place in the future of the game".
Rui Pinto, the creator of Football Leaks, has criticized Fifa president Gianni Infantino, stating that he should have no place in the future of football. Pinto, a 37-year-old former Uefa general secretary, released documents that led to the Premier League's investigation into Manchester City for breaching financial rules over a nine-year period.
Pinto alleges that Infantino intervened to help both City and Paris St-Germain avoid financial fair play sanctions from UEFA in 2014. The Premier League found Manchester City guilty of all breaches, but the club denies any wrongdoing and has until October 2nd to appeal the decision. UEFA and the Swiss Football Association have both expressed dissatisfaction with Infantino's leadership, with the latter withdrawing its support for the Fifa president following a comprehensive reassessment of his actions.
