FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who has been receiving a great deal of criticism lately, has been called a dictator.

Former president Sepp Blatter described the current head of FIFA in this way.

"Infantino is a dictator. People from inside tell me that no one is allowed to ride in the same elevator with him.

He is untouchable. Infantino no longer knows any boundaries. Perhaps he should be sent to a psychiatrist,” Sepp Blatter said in an interview with "Der Spiegel.”

The Swiss also confirmed that UEFA will have its own candidate in the upcoming FIFA presidential election.

"UEFA has a plan and will present its candidate in the near future,” the former FIFA president added.
