The plot to overthrow Infantino
Notes de l’épisode
A bitter power struggle has engulfed world football. Is FIFA President Gianni Infantino on his way out or cementing his grip on power?
UEFA wants Infantino out. Legal battles, backroom manoeuvering and billions of dollars are at the heart of an extraordinary fight for control of football.
But Infantino is fighting back. Former enemies are switching sides, powerful alliances are forming and the FIFA presidency hangs in the balance.
Is UEFA plotting a hostile takeover of FIFA — and who really holds the power in world football?
Gabby Logan, Mark Chapman and Nedum Onuoha are joined by The Athletic's Adam Crafton to uncover what's happening behind the scenes — and what it means for every football fan.
Plus, Manchester United: With Michael Carrick under pressure, would sacking another manager solve anything — or does the real problem lie with those running the club?
