Diego Maradona says he has a chance of becoming Fifa vice-president if Prince Ali bin al-Hussein wins the election to succeed Sepp Blatter.
The Jordanian stood against Blatter in the recent Fifa presidential election, but failed to prevent the Swiss from winning a fifth term. However, after a series of arrests in relation to corruption charges across world football's governing body, Blatter announced four days after the election that he will be standing down.
The development means Prince Ali could stand again when new elections are held closer to the turn of the year and Maradona says he could be given a role in the organisation and insists he will rid it of corruption.
"I can be the Fifa vice president if Prince Ali wins," he said on Show del Futbol. "If I do, I'll clean everybody.
"Prince Ali and I got 73 votes, which has not happened at Fifa for many years."
The 54-year-old added that he feels Blatter decided to resign quickly after the election because he was scared of being named in the corruption charges.
"I think Blatter was scared that the FBI and Swiss police would come and arrest him at Fifa headquarters," he added.
