FIFA President Gianni Infantino is notorious for making headlines for the wrong reasons, and he has got himself in a sticky situation yet again after being accused of having a secret love affair during his stint at UEFA as general secretary.
Infantino, 56, who held the high-profile job at Europe’s governing body from 2009 to 2016, is also accused of having promoted the woman in that period. She also received a six-figure sum from UEFA in the form of a pay-off after her relationship with Infantino, as reported by The Telegraph.
