Geneva: FIFA president Gianni Infantino said in an interview published on Sunday that he will make less than two million Swiss francs a year, well below the salary of his disgraced predecessor, Sepp Blatter.

Infantino said his salary "will be less than the two million francs ($2 million, 1.8 million euros) people have speculated about."


Infantino described past dealings with FIFA's compensation committee as "insulting" and "completely arbitrary."

During the first two months of Infantino's tenure, the compensation committee included former FIFA audit and compliance chief Domenico Scala, who has emerged as a fierce critic of world football's new president.

Reflecting on earlier negotiations when Scala was involved, the FIFA chief said: "I expected to talk to these people about my salary based on guidelines and defined processes and not to face a fait accompli by Scala without a discussion."
