Michel Platini was unanimously elected to the post of the President of the Union of European Football Associations for another four years during the UEFA Congress in Vienna. A 59-year-old Frenchman had no rivals. Platini took the office in 2007, beating the Swede Lennart Johansson. 'Thank you for your trust and friendship. Together we managed to create the UEFA model for all sports organizations. I feel as if I was the captain of a great football team, which has been successful,' - he said just after the elections. He mentioned that the main goal for the next term is the fight against racism in football. (PAP)
