"He is dangerous for football," Olsson tells Radiosporten.

Infantino is being strongly questioned by several of the world's football federations, and Lars-Christer Olsson, who was secretary general of UEFA from 2003 to 2007, believes that a vote of no confidence cannot wait until the congress in March.

Currently, there may be a majority in favour of removing him, but if he is given time, there is a high risk that he can gather the same number of votes.

Olsson believes that Infantino should never have been appointed FIFA president.

The kindest thing I can say is that he is a clown, who unfortunately has come to a position of power that he should not have reached. This man is dangerous for football," he tells Radiosporten Dokumentär .
