Gianni Infantino has sacked a FIFA executive after criticism of the under-fire president. The move follows comments from chief operating officer Kevin Lamour, who said he and his colleagues had been "deceived" by Infantino's plan to sell the World Cup to private investors. That plan has now been scrapped. Infantino has been facing growing pressure over the proposal, and this dismissal marks a notable escalation in the fallout at football's governing body.
