FIFA president blasts critics, says salary not decided (Reuters)

FIFA president Gianni Infantino accused the man who masterminded reforms of soccer's global body of "playground" behavior and told Swiss newspapers that his salary, still to be confirmed, would be less than 2 million Swiss francs ($2.05 million). Infantino, elected three months ago to haul FIFA out of the worst graft scandal in its history, said his "enemies" wanted to make him look greedy after a newspaper leak said he had been angered by a suggested package. FIFA has been embroiled in crisis after several dozen soccer officials were indicted in the United States last year while its own ethics committee has banned several top figures, including former president Sepp Blatter.
