Ceferin, head of the Football Association of Slovenia, polled 42 votes at Uefa's congress in Athens, 29 more than Dutchman Michael van Praag.

The 48-year-old succeeds former France international Michel Platini, who resigned after being banned from all football activity last year.

It is a great honour, but also a great responsibility. It means a lot to me. My small and beautiful Slovenia is very proud of it, and I hope that one day you will also be proud of me.

To be said, I don't even know who he is but, good luck.

+1 for that last sentence

To be said, I don't even know who he is but, good luck.

Another puppet?

@KTB Pherhap, but a puppet that is controlled by who?

^controlled by florentino perez to favour real madrid in the draws!

^LOL

@liomessi10 yeah and that's why your Platini got banned you and your referee team.

I think this gentleman is another muppet .

FIFA is an association of associations with a non-commercial, not for
profit purpose that uses significant funds in the pursuit of its
statutory objectives, which include developing the game of football
around the world, organising its own international competitions, and
drawing up regulations for association football

I want them to be audited and fully transparent every year !

I have only heare bad things about him.
If you look closely you can see the corruption in his eyes.

The risk is that he isn't corrupted as FIFA would say.

Don't worry a corruption story will appear to the spotlight in a couple years, those large football organizations cannot live without being corrupt nowadays.
