The computer hacker responsible for releasing documents that led to the Premier League's investigation into Manchester City has said FIFA president Gianni Infantino "should have no place in the future of the game," according to a report from BBC Sport.

The comments add a new dimension to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding football's governance, with the hacker's leaked material having played a significant role in triggering regulatory scrutiny of one of the Premier League's most prominent clubs.

Renewed criticism of football governance

Criticism of Infantino's leadership has periodically surfaced from various corners of the football world, with critics pointing to governance and transparency concerns within FIFA's leadership structure.

The hacker's specific grievances with Infantino were not fully detailed in the available report, though the remarks come amid a broader pattern of scrutiny directed at football's governing institutions and their handling of financial regulation within the sport.
