FIFA fired its chief operating officer, Kevin Lamour, on Monday.
The 46-year-old’s exit from his post at world soccer’s governing body comes just weeks after he issued a public statement of defiance to the Associated Press, writing that he had been “deceived” and treated with “contempt and intimidation” regarding the attempts of FIFA president and close colleague Gianni Infantino to sell private stakes of future World Cups through the now-abandoned project, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE).
