Diego Maradona has blasted FIFA president Sepp Blatter as the Argentine continues his support for Prince Ali bin al-Hussein.

The Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli and Argentina great is in Amman to show his support for Jordan's Prince Ali who is set to run against Blatter for the presidency.

Maradona believes the current vice-president of football's world governing body is the right man to dethrone Blatter who has sent the organisation into anarchy.

"If I didn't believe that he (Prince Ali) would be a good president, I wouldn't be here," said Maradona at the Soccerex Asian Forum in Amman.

"As the football world knows, inside FIFA there is total anarchy, where there is only one man who decides everything.

"But he knows absolutely nothing. Therefore it is time for a change. And it is so because even his colleagues should actually advise him to leave."

Maradona added: "He has done a lot of damage to football since he has been there. It's time for him to step aside and let us, who are full of strength, renovate football.

"First we didn't know where the World Cup was going to be held. Then we found out that after Brazil it was Russia and then Qatar.

"Without any doubt whatsoever Blatter is scared. Blatter is scared. He's scared of being left out of his share of the cake.

"That is what really annoys someone like me, who has played in four World Cups. I was chasing the ball, Blatter is chasing champagne."
