FIFA audit chairman Scala resigns in protest at Infantino

In a challenge to the integrity of Gianni Infantino, FIFA's compliance chairman resigned in protest over what he sees as a power grab by the new president on Saturday. Domenico Scala called his resignation a "wake-up call" for those working on the reform of soccer's scandal-battered ruling body.

Scala's walkout — on the issue of taking hiring and firing power over himself and independent panels that monitor FIFA officials and cheap fifa 16 coins money — comes amid claims of tension between the two men over the presidential salary. It marks a major test for Infantino's presidency since he was elected to succeed Sepp Blatter in February promising more openness and modern leadership.

Scala has overseen FIFA's billion-dollar annual spending since 2012, and could previously be removed only by a vote of the now-211 member federations at their annual meeting. Tensions between the two Swiss-Italian men were exposed on Friday at fifa 16 coins congress in Mexico City. Members voted in new powers to Infantino's ruling council to fire Scala and ethics committee leaders who investigate corruption claims.

Those independent officials have been seen as a key check on FIFA since their appointments were key goals of a Blatter-led round of anti-corruption reforms in 2012.FIFA reacted on Saturday saying Scala "misinterpreted" the decision and made "unfounded claims which are baseless."
