Trump pal Gianni Infantino is facing serious calls to resign after his controversial plan to give himself a significant raise while selling a stake in the World Cup’s commercial empire collapsed.
UEFA, European soccer’s 55-member governing body, has led the revolt against Infantino’s proposal, voting unanimously on Thursday to boycott all FIFA competitions if the deal went ahead.
The threat ultimately forced Infantino to abandon the plan, but UEFA officials have now gone further, signaling that the fallout has fueled calls for a change in FIFA leadership.
