Argentine legend Diego Maradona said on Wednesday that he wants to fight the “mafia” responsible for the corruption scandal that has rocked FIFA, but he stopped short ofsaying he wants to be the next president of global soccer’s governing body. “I have to fight the mafia that still remains inside FIFA. I have to fight those who have for a long time stolen from insideFIFA,” Maradona told local television channel America. Asked whether he would run for the FIFA presidency, the 54-year old replied ambiguously: “I really want to be in FIFA.”
