The Athletic FC Podcast · Is Infantino's exit now inevitable? · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

I I basically agree with ev everything you've you've said, Laura.

The the bit which I kind of struggle about a little bit, and I appreciate this is speculate this is speculating to a certain extent.

But if one of the existing VPs is to become the person that everyone coalesces around

D do we not need to sort of look at well, what have these b these guys been doing for the past eight to ten years while Gianni's been able to do all of this?

Because the alternative is w we're either saying they're partially responsible for what's what's gone on, you know, Victor was out there

batting for the dynamic pricing model, which offended so many fans in the summer, for example.

Because i if they're not partially responsible, they've really just been sat there taking a sa a very healthy salary for a very long time and and accepting that they don't really have an impact.

So I'm just curious how w we how do we make sure that what comes next is definitely going to be better than what we've had, other than a

a kind of slightly less offensive personality culture.

I'm just trying to imagine any of those people as FIFA president and, you know, it is it's interesting because, you know, when when you look around the world at what people want from a FIFA president and what they want to be different next time.

You know, really apart from stripping out Gianni's kind of highly objectionable cult of personality and the way that he addresses a room and the way that he kind of makes you sort of shiver a bit when he talks, you know, a lot of those people would do many of the same things that he's done.

You know, na I mean Nasser al Khalafi, like the kind of conflict of interest king of Europe, really, of uh that we've seen over the past few years in terms of all the different hats that he's worn at various times.

So it would be, I think, lamentable of UEFA to be sort of putting that forward uh you know as their alternative.

Montagliani, you know, as I said to Laura.

Many of these people are

We we we we've not even mentioned what happened in Qatar or in the lead up to Qatar, you know, on this podcast.

Those people were in place while this stuff happened.

And, you know, the idea that they just get to sort of now pretend that they are all of a sudden highly offended by Infantino's FIFA, I don't think is an idea that we should just accept.

Yeah.
