Former UEFA president Lennart Johannson has cast doubt about whether the current head of Europe's football governing body Michel Platini can stay in charge of the organisation.
Platini is under pressure having been suspended by FIFA in the midst of an investigation into a payment - alleged by Swiss authorities to be "disloyal" - he received from FIFA chief Sepp Blatter, who is also serving a 90-day suspension.
Johansson, who was in charge of UEFA between 1990 and 2007, and lost to Sepp Blatter in the 1998 FIFA presidential election, replied in the affirmative when asked if Platini had "damaged" UEFA:
