Gianni Infantino worked for UEFA from 2000 until February 2016, at which point he became the president of FIFA. During his tenure at UEFA, from 2009 until his departure to FIFA, he served as the general secretary. Following his exit, Alexander Čeferin of Slovenia assumed management of UEFA in September 2016.
Recently, the Daily Telegraph reported that a woman who had been involved in an affair with Infantino received a substantial severance package amounting to six figures. In response to media reports regarding the payment, a representative for UEFA issued a statement. The association confirmed the payment, stating, “We are aware of media reports and can confirm that the severance was paid to the person in question, who also received payment for the MBA program at one of the local educational institutions.”
UEFA further explained that the payment was executed strictly in accordance with the terms outlined in the relevant agreement.
This confirmation addresses the media coverage surrounding the financial disbursements made to the individual.
