PTI, KOLKATA: Football legned Pele on Monday stated that he has no intention to head the sport’s governing body FIFA, grappling with an unprecedented corruption scandal which has led to the suspension of its president Sepp Blatter and UEFA chief Michael Platini.
“No, I don’t have any intention to be president of FIFA,” Pele, the only footballer to have won three World Cups, said in his first news conference during his one-week sojourn in India.
On to the game outside FIFA’s boardroom, Pele termed Argentine forward Lionel Messi as the “best in last 10 years”, but also spoke highly of fellow Brazilian Neymar and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo.
