Blatter drops hint he wants to stay as president

FIFA president Sepp Blatter dropped a hint he plans to stand again for another four year term as the head of world soccer's governing body during a speech to AFC delegates in Malaysia on Friday.

Blatter had said he planned to step down from office at the end of his latest four-year term in 2015, but opened up a loophole in March by adding that was provided he could find someone to carry on his legacy.

The 77-year-old Swiss was talking at the Asian Football Confederation Congress in Kuala Lumpur on Friday, discussing his reform plans when he appeared to let slip he was not going to quit the presidency in two years.
