German football federation general secretary resigns
Print Edition
THE German football federation general secretary Helmut Sandrock resigned yesterday, one week before the release of a report on Germany’s successful bid for the 2006 World Cup and a dubious payment to FIFA.
Sandrock was to be in Germany’s delegation to the FIFA congress, but withdrew earlier in the week, officially due to health reasons. The federation (DFB) said he resigned in a move designed to help it make a fresh start. DFB quoted Sandrock as saying that “for the good of our football and the DFB it is necessary to make a completely new start in a credible and consequent manner, even in matters of personnel.”
Sandrock was the second high-ranking official to resign after Wolfgang Niersbach quit as president in November. DFB officials have come under fire in connection with an unexplained payment of 6.7 million euros (US$7.4 million) to FIFA and corruption accusations ahead of the vote for the 2006 World Cup.
