Former Brazil player and coach Zico has confirmed he intends to stand for the presidency of FIFA, insisting it is his "duty".
The 62-year-old, who hinted at the move on Tuesday, told a press conference in Rio de Janeiro: "It's sad for our sport to see what is happening in football today - the corruption... and the hard work of many other good people wasted.
"I see it as my duty to use my experience and knowledge to try and stand for the presidency."
Zico is regarded one of the greatest players in Brazil's history, appearing at the World Cup finals in 1978, 1982 and 1986.
He won 12 titles with Flamengo before embarking on a coaching career that included spells in Japan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Russia, Greece, Iraq, Qatar and India
