The biggest scandal had tarnished football&#8217;s image,&#8221; Ceferin recently admitted. &#8220;I stood. I was underestimated and when (opponents) realised the situation, it was too late.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"hyphenate \">Since then, Ceferin &#8212; recently ranked just behind Melania Trump among the most influential Slovenian citizens in the world by Slovenian magazine Reporter &#8212; has imposed his own, more understated, style.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hyphenate \">His most notable achievements have been introducing term limits for UEFA presidents &#8212; to a maximum of three four-year stints &#8212; and, according to one of those close to him, &#8220;maintaining unity in European football&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hyphenate \">Having previously been largely charged with putting in place measures voted for under the previous regime of Platini and Gianni Infantino, Ceferin can now hope to really make his mark.<\/p>\n<h3>Bone of contention<\/h3>\n<p class=\"hyphenate \">The biggest bone of contention moving forward is the plan of Infantino &#8212; now FIFA president &#8212; to introduce a new, expanded Club World Cup and global Nations League. Determined to protect UEFA&#8217;s own Champions League and recently-introduced Nations League, Ceferin is opposed to those ideas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hyphenate \">Infantino, who succeeded the disgraced Blatter in February 2016, will also be unopposed when he goes forward for re-election on June 5 in Paris.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hyphenate \">Reforms to the Champions League which mean the continent&#8217;s leading four leagues &#8212; Spain, England, Germany and Italy &#8212; now all get four automatic qualifying spots in the group stage were initially proposed by Platini but brought in under Ceferin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hyphenate \">Nevertheless, the Slovenian has sought to champion the rights of clubs from smaller countries, and he must look for ways to restore competitive balance, something he recently said was his &#8220;greatest challenge&#8221; going forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hyphenate \">Late last year UEFA confirmed plans to bring back a third European club competition from 2021\/22, which would have 32 teams mainly from smaller member associations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hyphenate \">However threats of a breakaway Super League have been staved off with the signing Wednesday of a Memorandum of Understanding until 2024 with the influential European Club Association (ECA).<\/p>\n<p class=\"hyphenate \">Andrea Agnelli, chairman of the ECA which represents over 200 leading teams, hailed the agreement as &#8220;an important moment in the history of European football&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hyphenate \">&#8220;The Memorandum of Understanding places ECA firmly at the heart of UEFA&#8217;s decision-making process, in a manner which properly reflects clubs&#8217; contribution to the development of the game,&#8221; added Agnelli, who is also chairman of Juventus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hyphenate \">&#8220;I believe (this agreement) sets the tone and bodes well for our long-term cooperation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"hyphenate \">Meanwhile, Ceferin will also have to deal with the burning issue of Financial Fair Play (FFP) &#8212; can he restore faith in what was one of Platini&#8217;s flagship projects at a time when many feel clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City have pushed its credibility to the limits?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 51-year-old Slovenian lawyer &#8212; who saw off Dutchman Michael van Praag in 2016 &#8212; is the only candidate in the election this time which will take place at the organisation&#8217;s Congress in Rome.
