Sepp Blatter has told the BBC he is “clean” and Fifa is not corrupt. The 78-year-old president, who will step down in February after criminal investigations were launched into world football’s governing body, said he decided to go in order to protect Fifa.
He added: “I can protect myself. I am strong enough. I know what I have done, what I have not done. I have my conscience and I know I’m an honest man. I am clean.
“The institution is not corrupt. There is no corruption in football. There is corruption with individuals.”
