Rui Pinto, the hacker behind Football Leaks, has said FIFA president Gianni Infantino should not be part of football's future. Pinto repeated allegations that Infantino, while UEFA general secretary, helped Manchester City and Paris St-Germain avoid tougher financial fair play sanctions in 2014. The comments come after Manchester City were found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules over a nine-year period.

Context

... No extra. Need plain text. Should we include line breaks between paragraphs? Yes. Need ensure no source phrasing copied. Some phrases like "Premier League financial rules" maybe generic. "Football Leaks" proper. "general secretary" proper. "financial fair play" maybe. "FFP" okay. "found guilty" source phrase? We can say "found to have breached". That's close but factual. "deny any wrongdoing" source phrase. We can say "maintain their innocence" maybe. But source says continue to deny any wrongdoing. Original wording? "maintain their innocence" okay. "appeal by 2 October" factual. "Uefa said such assistance fell within the general secretary's role" source says within remit. Original enough. "Infantino said his work involved discussions and document exchanges" source. Fine. Need maybe mention "Swiss Football Association withdrew support" in context. Good. Potential issue: EXPANDED must be additional factual detail and background drawn ONLY from material above. We can include all.

Expanded detail and Context are AI-generated analysis; the linked article remains the authoritative source.
