"I did not Resign as FIFA President"- Sepp Blatter

Sepp Blatter has claimed that he “did not resign” as FIFA president, according to a report by the Swiss newspaper Blick.

“I did not resign. I put myself and my office in the hands of the FIFA congress,” Blick reported Blatter as saying during a visit to the site of the future FIFA museum in the Swiss city of Zurich.

The 79-year-old Blatter announced on June 2 that he would step down from the FIFA presidency at an extraordinary congress to be held between December this year and March 2016.
