FIFA president Gianni Infantino will be paid a salary of 1.5 million Swiss francs ($1.53 million) a year, less than a quarter of that received by his predecessor Sepp Blatter, soccer's world governing body announced on Wednesday. Infantino, who was elected on Feb. 26, will also get a "car and lodging free of charge during his term and contribution to expenses in accordance with FIFA’s expenses regulations," FIFA said in a statement. "Bonus payments from 2017 onwards will be awarded in accordance with objective criteria related to FIFA’s mission and operations as well as the outcome of the organizational reforms, now being implemented," said the statement.
