Zico pondering run for presidency

By Reuters | China Daily | Updated: 2015-06-04 07:27

Former Brazil international Zico has expressed a desire to run for president of FIFA following Sepp Blatter's resignation on Tuesday.

Blatter rocked the soccer world by unexpectedly saying he is stepping down as FIFA president in the wake of a corruption investigation that reportedly might include the embattled chief himself.

The 62-year-old Zico, who played in three World Cups, served as Brazil's sports minister in the 1990s and has decades of experience at all levels of the game - including management stints in Japan, Turkey, Russia, Greece and the Middle East.
