Germany head coach Jürgen Klopp is of the opinion that a new face needs to take over the role of FIFA president from Gianni Infantino.

“The general consensus is now that a change would make sense," he said in Germany's press conference ahead of facing the Netherlands.

“People thought things couldn’t get any worse after [former president] Sepp Blatter, and then we got this [Gianni Infantino]. 

"There are certainly people out there who only care about football and have no priority on financial interests. 

“If one of them became president, it would be absolutely helpful,” Klopp stated, underlining what he feels is a growing demand for change. 

Klopp's words will likely only increase pressure on Infantino after a recent period of intense criticism and governance pressure.

The Swiss native has been subjected to harsh words from European football leaders, internal council members and former officials.
