Kevin Lamour, FIFA and Gianni Infantino
Monday
FIFA has ended chief operating officer Kevin Lamour’s employment after he publicly criticised Gianni Infantino and the abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise plan. Lamour had accused the organisation’s leadership of deceiving staff and said football’s political leaders needed to act.
FIFA told staff that both sides had agreed to part ways, but the departure follows Lamour saying he understood criticism could cost him his job. His exit deepens the internal fallout surrounding Infantino as opposition to the president continues growing.
