Platini: 'I don't support Blatter'

UEFA president Michel Platini has declared that he does not support FIFA president Sepp Blatter's plans to stand for a fifth term.

According to French press agency AFP, Platini has withdrawn his backing for Blatter, but did not say whether he would opt to oppose him in the elections.

"I was very proud of the Europeans," Platini said on Wednesday in response to Europe's stance against Blatter.

"I no longer support Sepp Blatter," he has now been quoted as saying.

Blatter has been FIFA president since 1998.
