After effectively ending the career of FIFA President Sepp Blatter, internal investigators at soccer’s beleaguered governing body are shifting their focus to throwing out his chief lieutenant, Jerome Valcke.
Valcke had been suspended before FIFA announced its investigations into Blatter and European soccer head Michel Platini, which ended with Monday’s eight-year bans of both men. Valcke, a 55-year-old Frenchman, was told to leave his office in September while FIFA investigated “a series of allegations” of misconduct.
