Outgoing FIFA President Sepp Blatter, still-suspended from all football related activities, has offered his congratulations to incoming president Gianni Infantino on securing the top job in the sport.
Blatter, still hounded by corruption allegations, says he was not surprised by the result of the elections.
Blatter has however warned the new FIFA president that he faces a tough road ahead.
“I congratulate you, but remember that this position you wanted will not be easy. Miracles will be expected,” Blatter said in an open letter published by French newspaper Journal du Dimanche.
“If by chance, you want an opinion or advice, do not hesitate. For now, stay calm. You have two months to implement the decisions taken” he added.
