Aleksander Ceferin, head of the Football Association of Slovenia since 2011, has been named the new president of UEFA, formally succeeding disgraced former chief Michel Platini. Angel Maria Villar has been serving as 'acting president' since October last year.
Ceferin,
48, had a background in law before moving into football and beat off
competition from 68-year-old Dutch candidate Michael van Praag to take
charge of European football's governing body following Platini's public
fall from grace.
