Agence France-Presse ·

UEFA chief Aleksander Ceferin has ruled himself out of the running to replace Gianni Infantino, the under-fire FIFA president.

Infantino has come under increasing pressure to step down over his now abandoned plan to secure private investment in FIFA tournaments, with Ceferin one of the leading figures in the challenge to him. But Ceferin, a 58-year-old Slovenian, told the Rest is Politics podcast, "I'm not interested" in becoming FIFA boss.
