Twelve days after Sepp Blatter announced that he planned to resign, the embattled president of FIFA is considering staying on the job, Swiss newspaper Schweiz am Sonntag reports.
According to an anonymous source, Blatter has received messages of support from African and Asian soccer associations, asking him to stay on as president. The source said Blatter has not ruled out staying in office.
Blatter has been in the position since 1998. He announced his resignation, shortly after being reelected president, in light of FBI-led investigations into corruption on World Cup bidding. FIFA was going to select his successor in December.
