Zurich: UEFA president Michel Platini will resign from European football's governing body after failing to have a six-year ban overturned by a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) panel on Monday.

The panel, however, reduced the ban from six to four years and the fine from 80,000 Swiss Franc (around $80,000) to 60,000 Swiss Franc ($60,000) on Monday.
