Blatter said, ''I will organise extraordinary congress for a replacement for me as president. I will not stand. I am now free from the constraints of an election. I will be in a position to focus on profound reforms. For many years we have called for reforms. But these are not sufficient.”
He has also said A new election will be held "as rapidly as possible"
Blatter - who won a fifth term on Friday - had been under intense pressure to step down since senior Fifa officials were arrested on a string of corruption charges last week.
Blatter confirmed: "An extraordinary congress is to be called to elect my successor as soon as possible."
