Jerome Champagne

Pros: Fifa’s deputy secretary general for 11 years, personal adviser to Blatter and campaign manager for his 2002 presidential victory – Champagne knows the drill – and importantly has maintained a solid reputation as a trustworthy figure.

Cons: His existing relationship with Fifa means the 56-year-old is viewed with skepticism as a result of his connections to the current system of government.
