Infantino has global vision for reshaping FIFA

FIFA presidential candidate Gianni Infantino would make a clean break with the organization's troubled recent past by appointing more women and non-Europeans to senior roles, he said on Monday.

Infantino, 45, said he would quickly look to replace fired general secretary Jerome Valcke if he wins the election on Feb 26.

All 10 previous general secretaries, including disgraced former president Sepp Blatter, have been men from western Europe and Infantino believes having someone from a different background in the post would mark a fresh start in world soccer's corridors of power.
