I won’t run for re-election, vows Sepp Blatter

Fifa’s executive committee has decided the date of the special congress to elect Blatter’s successor to be February 26 next year — meaning the 79-year-old will remain in power for another seven months.
At a news conference in Zurich, Blatter for the first time stated unequivocally that he will not stand again — and said he would try for a new career in radio.
