Victor Montagliani seen as UEFA's possible candidate to unseat Gianni Infantino | OneFootball

According to L'Équipe, opponents of FIFA president Gianni Infantino are rallying behind a challenger, with Canadian Victor Montagliani viewed as the leading option ahead of Sheikh Salman. UEFA is said to dream of Nasser al-Khelaïfi, though he is not ready to take on this fight.

In one month, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin and general secretary Theodore Theodoridis will pass their findings to the presidents of the 55 member associations.

Their briefing is scheduled for 8 October in Berlin.

That annual meeting normally reviews European club and national team competitions, but this edition will be devoted to a single issue, how to remove Infantino from the FIFA presidency at the elective congress on 18 March in Rabat, Morocco.

The issue now dominates the agenda within UEFA.
