Placido Domingo the opera star will wait before he decides whether or not to accept a new FIFA committee role. The Spaniard is waiting on more information from recently re-elected president Sepp Blatter before committing to the council of wisdom.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter made a formal invitation to the Spanish opera great Placido Domingo who is considering it to help try and solve problems at the world’s football governing body.
Blatter won re-election unopposed for another four years last week and promised to clean up FIFA and the corruption scandal. The role of council of wisdom has been offered Domingo as well as Henry Kissinger the former U.S. Secretary of State and Johan Cruyff the former Dutch football legend.
However the opera star is still considering the appointment and is non committal until Blatter supplies him with more information. He said last week that with the exception of 1978, since 1970 he had been at every World Cup final. Blatter said the new committee will have the powers to investigate problems at FIFA and to solve the bribery scandal.
