Fifa president Sepp Blatter told to resign by head of German football league over Qatar World Cup furore Fifa president Sepp Blatter has been told to resign by the head of the German football league over the controversy surrounding Qatar's World Cup bid. And Reinhard Rauball has even suggested the German FA's president, Wolfgang Niersbach, should replace Blatter as head of football's world governing body. "In contrast to others who just do it via the media, I rang up Mr Blatter personally recently and asked him to resign," Rauball told Kicker. I can't be accused of holding myself back on this issue. But the decision by the Fifa executive committee in favour of Qatar is not made by Mr Blatter alone - 22 people are entitled to vote. When asked who should replace Blatter, Rauball said: "The league representatives to the DFB committee would all vote for Niersbach as a candidate. I am sure there will be no other opinion in the DFB committee either. Earlier this month, Raubull warned that Uefa could quit Fifa if Michael J Garcia's ethics report into the bidding processes for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups was not published in full. He said: "Most people just throw up their arms and say 'that's very bad'. But that is not enough. We need a prospect. There is no willingness to publish both the Garcia report and the decision of the ethics committee, but it is simply unavoidable. The impression remains that people are being protected and that is intolerable.
