Victor Montagliani will ultimately not stand as a candidate for the FIFA presidency. According to Le Parisien, he will not put himself forward, which would leave the path clear for Gianni Infantino to be re-elected. So Foot also reports that Montagliani, presented as one of Infantino's rivals, is not expected to stand in the FIFA elections. This decision, if confirmed, would eliminate one of the main potential challengers to the incumbent president. Both media outlets agree on this outcome, even though no official announcement has yet been made.
