FIFA president Gianni Infantino said in an interview published Sunday that he will make less than two million Swiss francs a year, well below the salary of his disgraced predecessor, Sepp Blatter. Infantino has not yet agreed to terms with FIFA but speaking to Switzerland’s Blick newspaper, he said his salary “will be less than the two million francs ($2 million, 1.8 million euros) people have speculated about.”
Blatter, who was mired in scandal before being banned from FIFA, made $3.6 million in 2015. Infantino described past dealings with FIFA’s compensation committee as “insulting” and “completely arbitrary.”
