Uefa president Michel Platini say he will not support his Fifa counterpart Sepp Blatter at next year’s election.
Blatter, 78, who has been under pressure over the 2022 Qatar World Cup, recently indicated he was to seek re-election for a fifth term.
“I do not support him, I am not in favour of him having a new term,” said Platini, 58. “I told him. I think Fifa needs a new breath of fresh air.”
Platini is yet to decide whether to contest the Fifa presidency himself.
The Frenchman said he agreed with his fellow Uefa members that it was time for Blatter, who has been in power since 1998, to call it a day when his mandate ends next year.
