The Swiss has received the backing of the FFF chief who says this is a new era for the game's governing body "which must start on a better footing and put football at its heart"
French Football Federation chief Noel Le Graet says Gianni Infantino is "the man for the job" after the Swiss was elected the new president of FIFA.
Infantino, who will relinquish his previous role as UEFA general secretary, was voted in on Friday after receiving the backing of 115 federations in the second round of polling at the extraordinary congress in Zurich and will replace disgraced predecessor Sepp Blatter.
