FIFA sacks Lamour after Infantino plan criticism

FIFA has sacked its chief operating officer, Kevin Lamour. The Frenchman was let go on Monday after publishing scathing criticism of Gianni Infantino's plan to sell a stake in the World Cup to private equity, a proposal that has since been shelved. Lamour publicly opposed the move last month, which reportedly sealed his exit from the world football governing body. Infantino, meanwhile, remains in place despite a wave of opposition from within the sport.
