Villar Or Theodoridis Set To Replace Platini

Angel Maria Villar, the interim UEFA President, and General Secretary Theodore Theodoridis are bookmaker William Hill’s favourites at 6-1 to replace Michel Platini as head of the European soccer’s governing body.

Michael van Praag and Giancarlo Abete, Presidents of the Dutch and Italian football associations respectively, are also front-runners at 10-1 with former Manchester United chief executive David Gill an outside chance at 16-1.
Frenchman Platini is to resign as UEFA President after losing a top level appeal against a ban for ethics violations on Monday, reports Reuters.
“There will be a number of candidates up for the role of President and this looks as though it will be a hotly contested race just as the FIFA one was,” William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly said.
