FIFA boss Gianni Infantino ‘a fan of rich and powerful people’ – Michel Platini

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has been criticised by his old boss Michel Platini, who says the Swiss has “always been a fan of rich and powerful people”.

Infantino, who has forged a close relationship with United States President Donald Trump heading into this summer’s World Cup finals in North America, served as general secretary at UEFA during Platini’s presidency.

Platini had been the favourite to succeed Sepp Blatter as FIFA president until he was caught up in a criminal investigation over a payment he received from Blatter.
