Domenico Scala, Fifa’s head of auditing and compliance, has resigned in protest at reforms at the governing body of world football.
Scala is angry the new Fifa council will have the ability to appoint and sack those in charge of its committees, including auditing, ethics and finance.
The council replaced the Fifa executive committee, in the aftermath of a corruption scandal at the organisation.
Committees had been “deprived of their independence”, said Scala.
He added the new council “undermines a central pillar of the good governance of Fifa and it destroys a substantial achievement of the reforms”.
The first Fifa congress led by new president Gianni Infantino, who replaced Sepp Blatter in February, took place in Mexico on Thursday and Friday.
