Sepp Blatter is denying he'll step down as FIFA president before the end of his mandate in 2015, insisting he hasn't made a deal for Michel Platini to replace him as the head of world football's governing body.
Platini, a former captain of France and the current president of the European Football Union, is widely seen as a successor to Blatter, and his mandate also ends in 2015.
But the 75-year-old Swiss, who was re-elected for a fourth term as FIFA president in June, says it's ridiculous to suggest that he won't see out his last four years.
