Michel Platini has his eye on one last challenge in 2019, the year FIFA will elect its president. Given four more years to lead European soccer's governing body on Tuesday, Platini hinted at a news conference that he won't seek another UEFA mandate. I don't know if I want to go in UEFA or I want to go in FIFA or I want to go in another part of the world.'' Platini was long seen as the likely next FIFA president until Sepp Blatter reneged on a 2011 promise to leave this May. Instead, the 79-year-old Blatter is favored to win a fifth term against three UEFA-supported rivals. UEFA and Platini want to protect Europe's 13 qualifying slots for future World Cups, and even add a 14th.
