ZURICH - FIFA's chief operating officer, Kevin Lamour, has reportedly left his role at soccer's governing body just weeks after saying its president, Gianni Infantino, had deceived staff with his World Cup sell-off plan.
Lamour, who is based in Zurich, all but invited Infantino to fire him in a statement to The Associated Press on Aug. 1 that defended his colleagues amid intense fallout from the plan to sell stakes in future World Cup profits to private equity funds.
