FIFA vice-president Csanyi withdraws support for Infantino after Lamour dismissal

The decision to fire FIFA's chief operating officer Kevin Lamour was the final straw. Now Hungarian Sandor Csanyi, one of FIFA's vice-presidents, says he has lost confidence in president Gianni Infantino.

"It shows serious deficiencies in professional judgment and leadership."

"My belief that you have the ability to lead FIFA successfully and effectively according to the values and rules in place has been shaken," Csanyi said in a statement.

Kevin Lamour came out and criticized Infantino after plans to sell parts of the World Cup to private investors became public. This week it became clear that Lamour will be leaving FIFA.

In the letter, Sandor Csanyi writes that it concerns "a number of controversial decisions" regarding the World Cup. The trigger was Kevin Lamour being forced to leave the organization.
