FIFA needs interim chief to exit crisis

GENEVA: FIFA should appoint an interim leader to replace embattled president Sepp Blatter to make reforms and steer it out of its massive corruption scandal, a former FIFA reform chief said on Sunday (Monday in Manila).

“It would be ideal to have a president who would step down after two years,” Swiss criminal law professor Mark Pieth, who previously headed FIFA’s independent governance committee, told Swiss broadcaster SRF.
