Another source told The Times: “They would love a famous former player to come out in support of Infantino but it appears he is too toxic after the World Cup sell-off plan.” That certainly appeared to be the case for Luís Figo, the former Portugal forward who has been a Uefa adviser since 2017, as he called for Infantino to resign as president in a damning social media post. “Infantino has debased the office that he promised to elevate,” Figo said. “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, his closest advisers, the vast majority of people who devote their lives to this sport and even, it would seem, the Fifa Peace Prize winner [Donald Trump]” “It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.”   submitted by   /u/Sparky-moon [link]   [comments]
