Ricardo Teixeira, the former head of Brazilian football, is resigning from FIFA's executive committee. Teixeira has resigned from the post he held since 1994 in a letter sent to the South American football confederation on Monday. The Brazilian said he is leaving the committee because of "personal reasons." The announcement comes exactly a week after Teixeira stood down as president of the Brazilian federation and the 2014 World Cup organizing committee. His 23-year rule of Brazilian football was marked by success, but also by allegations of irregularities including claims that he took kickbacks from former FIFA marketing partner ISL in the 1990s.
