British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Sunday that FIFA President Gianni Infantino was not the right man to lead world soccer’s governing body in the latest fallout from the now abandoned plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors.

It remains to be seen how well he will govern, but Andy Burnham’s first weeks in office show he is a premier-league politician after a run of second-division British leaders. His political skill is a reason to think he might break the recent trend for prime ministers to get dumped more quickly than football managers.
