FIFA’s communications director Walter De Gregorio resigns after Blatter gag

FIFA’s answer to ‘Comical Ali’ has resigned from his post – after cracking a joke at Sepp Blatter’s expense…

Beleaguered Communications Director Walter De Gregorio made the unappreciated quip whilst appearing on Roger Schawinski’s show on Swiss TV earlier this week.

“The FIFA president,communications director and secretary general are in a car. Who’s driving? Answer: The police,” mused De Gregorio, who can no longer stick to his day job.

Perhaps it’s the way he tells them…

I love #Switzerland and Swiss German. Nice joke from Walter de Gregorio #FIFA Director of Communications and Public Affairs, who is probably also not innocent as he sounds, who knows.

…or maybe not.

A statement from FIFA read: ‘Walter De Gregorio has decided to relinquish his office with immediate effect as director of communications & public affairs.”
