Platini Confirms This Will be Last Term as UEFA President

Michel_PlatiniUEFA president Michel Platini has said this will be his final term whether he is named as the new FIFA president or not. 
The Frenchman confirmed this at a news conference following the Europa League draw.
"Yes, I'm stopping there," said Platini when asked if his current term, his third as UEFA president, would be his last.
 "This isn't the place or the time to talk about FIFA," he said.

"The FIFA elections will be taking place in six months' time and I'm sure we will have time to talk about that in due course.
"I am wearing my UEFA hat and my UEFA uniform."
Platini is seen as the front-runner in the race to replace Blatter who will relinquish his mandate at the Feb. 26 election in Zurich.
"I know why you all came and I know what you interested in hasn't been discussed I'm sorry for not having been able to reply to your questions," he added.
"This wasn't the right place."
