FIFA acting Secretary General Markus Kattner has been sacked after being accused of paying himself bonuses worth millions of pounds. World governing body FIFA said an investigation uncovered breaches of fiduciary responsibilities. The 45-year old German took over as acting General Secretary after Jerome Valcke was sacked for irregularities.The dismissal is not connected to the payment made to Michel Platini by former President Sepp Blatter in 2011. Kattner joined FIFA in 2003 as Director of Finance, becoming Deputy Secretary General in 2007. His salary and bonuses were part of a contract that was unseen by relevant FIFA committees.
