Sepp Blatter says he will resign as president of football's governing body Fifa amid a corruption scandal.
In announcing his exit, the 79-year-old has called an extraordinary Fifa congress "as soon as possible" to elect a new president.

There will be an “extraordinary congress” of FIFA and a new president will be elected, at which time he will step down the post he has held since 1998. This will take place sometime between December of 2015 and March of 2016, FIFA says.

PS - called it way before the press conference even started.

That 10 million dollar bribe story that dropped yesterday was the nail in the coffin.

I love how there's no media there. They're tripping over themselves to try to get to the press conference now.
