The President Of Venezuela Wants Diego Maradona To Lead FIFA

Nicolas Maduro, the President of Venezuela, endorsed Diego Maradona for the soon-to-be-vacant FIFA presidency.
June 5, 2015

FIFA's recent activities have been endlessly compared to the movie The Godfather. Could the Wolf of Wall Street be next? It could if Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro has anything to say about it. Maduro made a speech on his TV channel (when you're the president of Venezuela, you get your own TV channel) proclaiming that his first choice for Sepp Blatter's soon-to-be-vacant seat is none other than Diego Maradona. 

We're not sure why Maduro thinks this is a good idea because we don't speak Spanish, but we're sure he has his reasons.
