FIFA's president, Sepp Blatter, has said he will step down as leader of football's governing body, once a new successor is found.
Blatter said at a press conference on Tuesday in Zurich that an extraordinary congress would be convened to elect a successor as soon as possible.
The move came just four days after the 79-year-old Swiss national was re-elected as the organisation's President at its annual congress.
"I am now free of the constraints of the election…I will now be in a position to enact reforms to follow on our initial efforts," Blatter said.
"For many years we have gone to great lengths and these need to continue as they have not yet been sufficient"
