Blatter resignation: How the FIFA scandal unfolded
After FIFA president Sepp Blatter announced his intention to resign from office, we look back on a tumultuous seven days in football.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter brought an end to his 17-year tenure at the head of world football's governing body on Tuesday, four days after being re-elected for a fifth term.
In a sensational development, the 79-year-old announced his resignation in Zurich at a hastily arranged press conference, confirming an Extraordinary Congress will be held to appoint his successor.
The move caps a remarkable week that started with a corruption scandal engulfing the organization, and finished with the exit of its president.
Here we look back on a chaotic seven days.
