FIFA president Sepp Blatter has revealed he will
stand for re-election in 2011, insisting "I have not yet achieved
my mission in football."
The Swiss has held his position since 1998 when he took over
from Joao Havelange and despite often being controversial, is
currently in his third term.
However, the 73-year-old has told Gazzetta dello Sport he plans
to continue for some time.
"I've not finished my mission in football yet," he said. "I need
more time. I hope that in 2011 the FIFA congress once more has
faith in me, otherwise I'll go back to my village.
"Football is my life."
