Sepp Blatter who is due to step down as president of FIFA in February was handed a 90-day ban by the world football governing body FIFA on Thursday.

The 79-year-old Swiss launched an immediate appeal.

Klaus Stohlker, Blatter's friend and adviser, told Press Association Sport: "He has appealed already to FIFA's appeal committee.
He is defending his position and he is sure that he will be found not guilty."

Blatter alongside FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke and UEFA president Michel Platini were both handed 90-day provisional bans by the FIFA ethics committee as investigations on alleged corruption is still on.
