HISTORICAL CALL AT FIFA: ARSENE WENGER A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENCY

The governing body of world football FIFA came to the agenda with a very surprise name before the upcoming presidential elections. While a great part of football fans openly express their discomfort with the management understanding of current president Gianni Infantino, the Swiss sports man was expected to enter the election unopposed. However, the latest claims spreading rapidly in the sports backstage carry a potential to completely change the balances. The increasing reactions of the fans and the strong demands for football to gain a more transparent structure made the 76-year-old legendary French manager Arsene Wenger the strongest alternative for the FIFA presidency. The experienced football man, who started to work as the FIFA Chief of Global Football Development after the successful years he spent at the head of the Arsenal team, continues to gather the appreciation of the entire football public. Football authorities and fan groups, entering into a search for a reliable leader against the controversial policies of Infantino, started to create a great pressure for Wenger to put his candidacy forward. The constructive vision of the French legend is seen as the sole hope that can eliminate the distrust felt towards the Infantino management. While it becomes a matter of great curiosity how the 76-year-old Wenger, who has not made an official statement yet, will respond to these intense calls, it is looked at with a certain eye that a possible candidacy will start one of the most exciting election processes in FIFA history. The large-scale campaigns started by the fans over social media platforms clearly prove that the football world desires a new leader. The active developments to be experienced in the coming days carry the quality of a critical turning point on behalf of the future of global football. The sports public continues to wait with a great impatience for his decision.
