Marco Villiger has replaced Heinz Tännler as Director of Legal Division at the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), as of 1 January. Tännler is pursuing a political career with the Schweizerische Volkspartei / Union Démocratique du Centre (Swiss People’s Party).

Tännler has written for World Sports Law Report (search for ‘Tännler’ on the internet site), and spoke at our Special Briefing: Club, Country & Players, which received coverage on the BBC. World Sports Law Report wishes Tännler and Villiger all the best in their new roles.
