FIFA's top spokesman left his job Thursday, hours after Sepp Blatter was urged to do the same by the European Parliament. FIFA communications director Walter De Gregorio, closely tied to the embattled FIFA president since 2011, left his job three days after telling a joke about soccer's governing body on a TV talk show. On Monday, De Gregorio was a guest of host Roger Schawinski on German-language station SRF.
