FIFA President Gianni Infantino's income has increased significantly since his appointment as head of world football's top governing body in 2016. This is what the French daily 'Le Monde' emphasizes, which has obtained documents that reveal everything about Infantino's salary.
According to this daily, Infantino's salary has quadrupled during this decade, with the Swiss man earning a salary of 5 million euros in 2024, while 10 years ago his salary was 1.28 million euros.
Meanwhile, the current head of world football's governing body has also been subjected to harsh attacks by former UEFA president Michel Platini, who was running for FIFA president before the 'FIFAgate' scandal broke in 2015. The French football legend was not spared at all as he said that Infantino likes the rich and powerful.
' He was a good number 2, but as number 1, no,' Platini told the British daily 'The Guardian'. UEFA did a great job, but there is a problem; they like rich and powerful people, those who have money. It's part of his nature. It was like that when he was number 2, but he wasn't the boss at that moment. Unfortunately, since the pandemic, Infantino has become autocratic. There is less democracy than in the Blatter era. You can say what you want about Blatter, but his main problem was that he wanted to stay at FIFA forever. He was a good person for football. '
Michel Platini after the 'FIFAgate' scandal was sentenced by the FIFA Ethics Committee to an 8-year suspension from activities, a sentence that was reduced to 6 years at first and then to 4 years by CAS. ' I was destined to be FIFA president, everything happened because they didn't want it. The suspension was a grave injustice and in the end it resulted in a political punishment, a group of people decided to remove me ,' said Platini.
