SEPP BLATTER has issued a denial he will quit as FIFA chief before the end of his mandate on Twitter! And under-fire Blatter, 75, insists he has not made a deal for Michel Platini to replace him.
Blatter tweeted yesterday: "The suggestion that I intend to stop my four-year mandate before its end is simply ridiculous.
"The suggestion of a reported 'deal' between me and Michel Platini for the presidency is pure nonsense." Blatter was re-elected for a fourth term in June, keeping him in office until 2015. He has said he will not stand again after that.
Former France captain Platini, the UEFA president, is widely seen as a possible successor.
