Villiger’s departure may pave the way for Alasdair Bell, the top legal official at the European soccer body UEFA to join Infantino at FIFA. That internal probe led FIFA to claim so-called “victim status,” a legal position that allows the Zurich-based body to lay claim to some of the millions of dollars in restitution fees seized by investigators or forfeited by defendants.
He hired the law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan to conduct a costly internal investigation as FIFA faced the biggest crisis in its history. Villiger was responsible for managing FIFA’s reaction to the United States-led case, which has since spawned investigations in Switzerland and France. Within three months of his election victory in February 2016, Infantino elevated Villiger to deputy secretary general, a position that ranks just below that of secretary general, FIFA’s top administrative role. Under Infantino, he even won a promotion.
He oversaw some of FIFA’s most important agreements with broadcasters and sponsors, including some subject to allegations in American court proceedings. While many of his former colleagues were quickly and quietly removed, Villiger remained in place. Villiger had been the head of FIFA’s legal department under Blatter, who was forced out in 2015 after a United States Department of Justice indictment revealed dozens of top soccer officials and businessmen had engaged in bribery and kickback schemes dating back more than two decades. Yet his ouster had been a subject of discussion among senior soccer officials since at least June, when they gathered in Russia for the World Cup.
Infantino is mulling major changes in the upper ranks of his administration, according to several people with knowledge of the situation.įIFA announced Villiger’s departure in a statement that suggested it had been a mutual decision: “The time for me has come to turn the page to a new chapter, seeking for new challenges,” Villiger is quoted as saying in FIFA’s news release. The departure of the Swiss lawyer, Marco Villiger, came as FIFA President Gianni Infantino tries to impose his authority on world soccer’s governing body, and it may not be the last.
