DFL President Reinhard Rauball Tells FIFA President Sepp Blatter He Should Resign

German Football League (DFL) President Reinhard Rauball has told FIFA President Sepp Blatter "he should resign" over the controversy surrounding the Qatar World Cup bid, according to the London GUARDIAN. Rauball: "In contrast to others who just do it via the media, I rang up Mr. Blatter personally recently and asked him to resign. I can't be accused of holding myself back on this issue." Rauball suggested German Football Federation (DFB) President Wolfgang Niersbach could replace Blatter as the president of FIFA. Rauball said Niersbach could provide "solutions" inside the FIFA exec committee. Rauball: "The league representatives to the DFB committee would all vote for Niersbach as a candidate. I am sure there will be no other opinion in the DFB committee either" (GUARDIAN, 11/25).
