Disgraced former FIFA president Sepp Blatter, has claimed that his successor, Gianni Infantino, has been ignoring his phone calls.
Earlier this week, Blatter had a six-year ban from football for corruption upheld after appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The 80-year-old said he met with Infantino to discuss issues that should be resolved within FIFA.
“[Infantino] said ‘I will work on that’ and he never came back,” Blatter told the BBC.
‘Not paying respect’
“I have never seen in any company that the new president… was not paying respect to the old president.”
“After his election we had a very good contact and he stopped at my house and we had a chat. I told him I have a list of questions that should be solved in Fifa which has not been solved before.
“I have asked him, I have sent him a letter and I have his personal number and I was told that it’s still correct. Never never an answer – never.
It’s no surprise Infantino wants nothing to do with Blatter, who was found to have made a £1.3m “disloyal payment” to ex-Uefa boss Michel Platini.
