Dinosaurs in charge of FIFA – Diego Maradona
The new Al Wasl coach Diego Maradona has launched a scathing attack on Fifa, comparing members of football's governing body to dinosaurs.
Speaking at a press conference in Dubai were he was introduced as head tactician of the United Arab Emirates club, Maradona was furious with FIFA and believes a major shake-up is desperately needed.
"Fifa is a big museum. They are dinosaurs who do not want to relinquish power. It's always going to be the same," 'El Pelusa' fired, in Saturday's presentation.
The former Argentina coach continued his rant at Fifa, stating he wishes the current Fifa members resign from their positions.
"It doesn't surprise me that Blatter has been re-elected because they only look inwards. They will all be there until they are 105 years old. I hope they resign, but don't get your hopes up that this will happen," he added.
"Many people agree with me that things are not clear in football. The situation at Fifa is still the same, football is run by people who do not understand football."
