Portuguese football legend and former super star Luis Figo has stepped in to become the new FIFA President, with player wanting a complete change in set up of the organization.
Figo who was twice voted world player of the year and represented Portugal 127 times, featuring at the World Cup in 2002 and 2006, said:
"I care about football, so what I'm seeing regarding the image of FIFA -- not only now but in the past years -- I don't like it," he told Alex Thomas in Madrid.
"If you search FIFA on the internet you see the first word that comes out: scandal -- not positive words. It's that we have to change first and try to improve the image of FIFA. Football deserves much better than this.
"I've been talking with so many important people in football -- players, managers, president of federations -- and they all think that something has to be done.
"Last year was the World Cup, I was in Brazil and I saw the reaction of all the fans regarding the image of FIFA and I think something has to be changed.
"Change in leadership, governance, transparency and solidarity, so I think it's the moment for that."
