‎Sepp Blatter’s daughter, Corinne Blatter has described her father’s resignation as FIFA President as a great relief adding that his decision had nothing to do with “the accusations that are currently circulating.”‎

In an interview with BBC Sports news correspondent, Richard Conway.‎ Corrine said, “I am both sad and relieved. My father’s announcement was a relief as it means the pressure that was building up on all sides has now disappeared. In the end it was simply a matter of wearing him down. That was extremely painful for me. My wish now is for calm to be restored, both for my father and for world football.‎ But above all I wish for the world to finally acknowledge the great things he has done for football in the last 40 years.”
