Chuck Blazer is resigning from his post as CONCACAF general secretary on Dec 31, 2011. He had been with the confederation for 21 years
“My passion for soccer is undiminished and it is time for me to explore new challenges within this wonderful sport,” Blazer said in a statement. “Running a governing body has been an incredibly fulfilling job, but there are so many other areas of the sport where as a senior executive, I will make a great impact.”
Blazer made worldwide headlines as the primary whistle blower on the bribery and corruption scandal that took down Jack Warner.
Although Blazer appeared far from perfect, not having a North American voice in CONCACAF's upper management could be problematic for the Canadian and American game. Hopefully, someone from the northern part of the region will step up and make sure the agenda of Latin American federations doesn't dominate CONCACAF business.
