Figo's run to the ultimate post

football legend Luiz Figo has joined the race to become FIFA president. The two time world best player is ready to contest for the post against Sepp Blatter.
  
   In an interview with Alex Thomas in Madrid the former Madrid star said "I care about football, so what I'm seeing regarding the image of FIFA -- not only now but in the past years -- I don't like it,". He furthered said "If you search FIFA on the internet you see the first word that comes out: scandal -- not positive words. It's that we have to change first and try to improve the image of FIFA. Football deserves much better than this.

"I've been talking with so many important people in football -- players, managers, president of federations -- and they all think that something has to be done.

"Last year was the World Cup, I was in Brazil and I saw the reaction of all the fans regarding the image of FIFA and I think something has to be changed.

"Change in leadership, governance, transparency and solidarity, so I think it's the moment for that."

     The deadline for nominations is Thursday and Figo confirmed to CNN he has secured backing from the five FIFA member associations required to get his name onto the ballot paper for May's election, though he did not name them. Figo said a lot of things about scandals in the interview,and he also promised to bring change. Wish all of them best of luck o
