committee for an improper payment from sepp blatter allies key figures in uefa including gianni infantino who will quickly drop out if platini can stand for election enemies sepp blatter jerome champagne enemy perhaps too strong but certainly there is animus between them links to other candidates joined at the hip with infantino part of the puppeteer set up that controlled prince ali in last election but now estranged from him latest news 21 dec platini along with sepp blatter banned from all football activity for eight years 21 nov fifa s ethics committee says investigations into sepp blatter and michel platini are concluded and recommendations seeking sanctions for the pair have been submitted 20 nov platini files an urgent appeal to cas over his ban fifa has declined to undergo an integrity check of platini which is required of all official presidential candidates due to his current suspension he was not among the declared candidates on 12 november here sources also suggested on sunday 15 november that a multi year ban for platini is imminent for latest news on all candidates click here for timeline on resources page portrait by roger pielke jr i m bullet proof that is how michel platini then president of uefa and leading candidate to replace sepp blatter at the helm of fifa characterised himself in october upon learning that fifa had suspended him for 90 days platini s suspension which coincided with that of blatter focused on the circumstances of a 2011 transfer of chf 2 million to platini from fifa platini s suspension bars him from any football related activities which means that for the first time since 1973 when he was 17 years old and joined the first team of french club nancy platini was not involved in top level football arguably platini s association with football went back much further his father aldo was an italian professional footballer who immigrated to france after world war i where he became a director at as nancy aldo is also known for spotting a talented young coach named arsène wenger and helping to launch his career michel platini s playing career was distinguished he lifted trophies in the french league twice in italy and won the european cup with juventus in 1985 pelé once said of platini s play that he is the only frenchman who would have got into the brazil team of any era he was fantastic his shooting his passing his touch on the ball his instinct in front of goal he was tremendous platini helped lead france to the 1978 world cup in argentina les bleus first appearance since 1966 he captained the 1982 french squad that made it to the semi finals of the world cup in spain where they were sent home after losing a penalty shootout to germany in a closely contested physical match platini would later call that game his my greatest memory in football even though we lost article continues below platini retired as a player when he was 32 and less than a year later he was named as the manager of the french national team he led the team to qualification into the 1992 european championships but an early elimination in the tournament led to platini s resignation managing wasn t for him being in charge of the national team had confirmed what i had already thought i didn t want to be a club coach not even when real madrid and some others asked me to join them along with fernand sastre from 1992 platini lead the world cup organizing team for france 1998 a role which introduced him into the top flight of international football serving as co lead of the french organising team opened doors for him he later explained because of that i met people like blatter who asked me to help him get elected for the presidency in 1998 i became his adviser and because of that i end up as president of uefa the successful world cup coupled with powerful patrons led to positions as the vice president of the french football federation in 2000 and membership on both the uefa and fifa executive committees in 2002 he was elected uefa president in 2006 platini s ascension to the top of the football world seemed inevitable but then qatar happened in 2008 platini explained his philosophy i m only interested in doing the right thing for football that commitment was put to the test in november 2010 when fifa s executive committee met to select the hosts of the 2018 and 2022 world cups nine days before the vote platini was invited by french president nicolas sarkozy to lunch at the elysée palace platini explained i d assumed that it was going to be just me and sarkozy there was a surprise guest in attendance qatari crown prince sheikh tamim bin hamad bin khalifa al thani platini later recalled i suspected that mr sarkozy might want me to vote for qatar platini did he admitted publicly in fact vote for qatar changing from an earlier preference for the usa allegedly sarkozy s encouragement may have been motivated by several interests platini later explained i knew sarkozy wanted the people from qatar to buy psg paris st germain the club that sarkozy supports in 2011 the qatari government investment fund paid 50 million euros for psg the qataris also created a new french television sports channel bein to compete with canal plus which was not well liked by sarkozy according to reports the qatari investment has made psg one of the world s richest sports teams others have suggested more conventional political and economic motivations for platini s vote the financial times reports that one month after the fifa vote that result in selection of qatar the tiny nation announced that it had begun testing french dassault rafale fighter jets against rival aircraft for a fleet upgrade in april 2015 qatar bought 24 of the jets for 7bn with an option to buy 12 more the selections of russia and qatar by the fifa executive committee in december 2010 and the revelations about corruption associated with that vote set off a chain of events culminating in the ongoing investigations of global football by the us department of justice and swiss federal authorities platini has been a victim of the investigations he successfully weathered an allegation that he had accepted the gift of a picasso painting from vladimir putin in exchange for his vote in support of russia however when it was revealed that sepp blatter had paid platini 2 million swiss francs for work allegedly done years before and improperly accounted for by fifa that revelation proved too much to survive the newly motivated fifa ethics committee suspended them both and the former mentor and student now bitter enemies sparring in public were on the outside looking in as i write this in mid november 2015 sepp blatter has been in the hospital with stress related health problems while platini is seeking to rejoin the fifa presidential race fifa has placed him in limbo and is not going forward with his announced candidacy until the allegations levied against him by the fifa ethics committee are resolved platini may yet survive the allegations against him and enter the fifa presidential race and perhaps even win the election or his days in football may be over we shall find out soon how bullet proof he actually is for michel platini as with fifa everything hangs in the balance more on the fifa presidential race follow sportingintelligence on twitter previous post fifa
