Sepp Blatter congratulated Gianni Infantino on being elected the new FIFA president. "I congratulate Gianni Infantino sincerely and warmly for election as the new president", stated the former head of FIFA, who had to step down due to the scandal that has been shaking the FIFA foundations for nine months.
Blatter's statement continued: "The agreed reform package means the demands on him are high. But I am convinced that my successor is ready to meet this. With his experience, expertise, strategic and diplomatic skills, he has all the qualities to continue my work and stabilise FIFA once more. I wish him good luck and success".
