FIFA: 'Ludicrous' to claim Infantino plot to remove Scala (The Associated Press)
An alleged plot by FIFA President Gianni Infantino to oust the official who oversaw the salary offer he refused to accept has been dismissed as ''ludicrous'' by world soccer's governing body. FIFA responded to reports in Saturday's edition of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung which the German daily said were based on leaked details of FIFA Council meetings held this month. A rare release of talks inside FIFA's ruling panel adds to tensions around the scandal-battered soccer body less than three months into a presidency that Infantino pledged will restore trust after 17 years of Sepp Blatter's controversial leadership.
