FIFA president Sepp Blatter has already resigned and will formally step down in January when elections take place. He was dragged into a global corruption scandal within the world football’s governing body and is being currently investigated by the United States authorities for possible wrongdoing.

Zico, who arrived in Goa on Monday for the ISL draft to be held on Friday, had earlier expressed his desire to run for the top post. The elections are likely to be held in January next year.

“If I have to participate in the elections, it will be difficult for me to come back to Goa,” Zico added.
