Carney, Figo Call for Infantino's FIFA Exit

Mark Carney expressed no confidence in Gianni Infantino's leadership of FIFA on Wednesday, joining growing criticism of the beleaguered president. The former Bank of England governor's intervention carries significant weight as he is close to Concacaf president Victor Montagliani, who is being encouraged to run against Infantino in next year's FIFA presidential election. biznow.biz

Portugal legend Luís Figo was more direct in his criticism, calling for Infantino to resign 'to save football.' Figo described the FIFA president's plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors as 'the lowest, most deceitful and cravenly self-interested behaviour I have ever witnessed.'
