Michel Platini, former French boss of European football, affirms “not to forbid himself” a return to sporting responsibilities and defends the attribution of the World Cup-2022 to Qatar, Friday in an interview with the German daily Die Welt.
The triple Golden Ball has been targeted since 2015 by a Swiss justice procedure for a suspicious payment of 2 million Swiss francs by Sepp Blatter, then president of Fifa.
He has since been excluded from all sporting responsibilities.
Does he think of a possible return?
"Let me first think about it in peace, there is no rush," replies the former UEFA president.
“I'm not forbidding myself anything.
If I think it's good for football and that I can still be useful, then I will fully commit to it ", adds Platini, adding that" this will be the last time then. "" Otherwise, I will stay at home and will continue my retirement ”.
