Arsenal boss Wenger blasts corrupt officials within the game
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has urged corrupt officials to "get out of football" and claimed Fifa needs a complete overhaul before it is fit to govern football, reports the London Evening Standard.
The US Department of Justice yesterday announced the next phase of its investigation into the game's global authority with 16 new defendants facing charges, including the current presidents of Concacaf and Conmebol.
Wenger, who has consistently called for reform of the organisation, said today: "It's a shock to me, like certainly to you, to discover what happened there.
"It's very difficult to swallow for people who are inside our game, that we are governed by bodies who are not straight.
"I hope that all these people will get out of football. It shows that you have really to rebuild completely this organisation and get people you can trust."
