Football: I won't be a one-man show says designated DFB chief Keller

BERLIN: The designated president of the German football association , Fritz Keller, said on Wednesday he will not take over international positions or run the DFB as a one-man show, after getting the backing of professional and amateur associations.

His predecessor Reinhard Grindel stepped down in April after coming under pressure over income he received from a DFB subsidiary and a watch he had been given by Ukrainian businessman and soccer administrator Grigory Surkis. The DFB is now hoping Keller, who became a Freiburg vice president back in 1991, can again steady the ship.

"I see my work on a national level. I do not want to be in bodies such as FIFA and UEFA. This is a 24-7 job, a full-time job.""I do not want to miss being able to go to watch a local game or go eat a sausage or go watch a top match," he added.
