"The election is over but FIFA challenges are not. FIFA needs a profound overhaul".

"While I have a mandate from the membership of FIFA, I do not feel that I have a mandate from the entire world of football - the fans, the players, the clubs, the people who live, breath and love football as much as we do at FIFA".

"Therefore, I have decided to lay down my mandate at an extraordinary elective congress".
