Sepp Blatter announced Tuesday that he is stepping down as FIFA president as the world's soccer governing body continues to be embroiled in scandal and controversy. "I appreciate and love FIFA more than anything else, and I only want to do the best for football and for FIFA," Blatter said during a press conference. Blatter said a new president will be elected "as soon as possible," but he will continue his functions until that happens. "What matters to me more than anything is that when all of this is over, football is the winner," according to prepared remarks posted by FIFA. Blatter had just been reelected on Friday.
