FIFA sack COO Kevin Lamour after public criticism of Infantino

FIFA has sacked chief operating officer Kevin Lamour, the organisation confirmed on Monday. The Frenchman had published scathing criticism last month of Gianni Infantino's now-shelved plan to sell a stake in the World Cup to private equity. FIFA president Infantino remains in his role despite opposition from across the game. Lamour's departure was confirmed by world football's governing body.
