Real Madrid legend, Luis Figo, has called on FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, to step down immediately following the controversy surrounding the failed World Cup stake sale proposal.

Figo alleged that Infantino had been dishonest and had lost the confidence of senior officials within FIFA.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, the former Portugal international said, “None of this comes as a surprise when you consider the litany of abuses he has inflicted on football’s reputation; from suspending and reversing disciplinary decisions to breaking the laws of the game over a half-time show, nothing gets in the way of pleasing his friends.

“He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve. He has lost the support of his senior staff.

“It is too late to save his dignity, but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.”

Infantino recently failed in his attempt to sell a stake in the FIFA World Cup to private investors.

The proposal collapsed after strong opposition, including a threat from UEFA to boycott FIFA competitions if the plan was implemented.
