Blatter assures he will fulfill his mandate at FIFA until the end.
The Federation's president uses Twitter to refute rumors that he might leave office before the end of his four-year term.
FIFA president Joseph Blatter used Twitter on Wednesday to refute rumors that he might step down before the end of his four-year term to be replaced by Frenchman Michel Platini, who currently heads UEFA. Until then, the official had avoided using the microblogging network to make political comments.
"The existence of an 'agreement' between myself and Michel Platini for the FIFA presidency is utter nonsense," Blatter wrote. "The suggestion that I intend to leave my four-year term before its end is simply ridiculous."
The rumor about a possible agreement comes ahead of a meeting between UEFA members in Cyprus, which will take place next week. The 53 members will debate for two days, including discussions about FIFA, a year after the start of scandals involving the selection of the host countries for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups and also the association's presidential election.
Speculation that Platini had made a deal with Blatter and would assume the FIFA presidency in 2013 had already surfaced previously. In May, before Blatter was elected unopposed for a fourth four-year term, the rumor emerged in Zurich. At that time, the story was dismissed as false and impractical.
