Michel Platini has recently been in the news due to his ban from involvement in football by FIFA in 2015. This ban was a result of ethics violations during his tenure as the president of UEFA. Platini was found to have received a "disloyal payment" of 2 million Swiss francs from FIFA's former president, Sepp Blatter, in 2011. This led to his suspension from all football-related activities for several years. Born on June 21, 1955, in France, Michel Platini is a former football player, manager, and administrator. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, having won the Ballon d'Or three times in the 1980s. Platini had a successful playing career with clubs like Nancy, Saint-Étienne, and Juventus, as well as the French national team. After retiring as a player, he moved into football administration, serving as the president of UEFA from 2007 to 2015. However, his reputation was tarnished by the ethics scandal that led to his ban from the sport.
