The UEFA general secretary is one of five candidates on the ballot to find Sepp Blatters replacement and has recently received the support of a number of European nations, with up to 40 set to vote for him.He became Europes leading candidate for the role when UEFA president Michel Platini was forced to end his campaign following an eight-year ban from all footballing activities imposed by the games governing body. Infantino is the FAs preferred candidate for FIFA president Infantino also has the support of UEFAs executive committee and appears to be the chief rival to favourite Sheikh Salman of Bahrain, president of the Asian Football Confederation.Dyke told Sky Sports News HQ the FA would oppose Sheikh Salman because of allegations Bahrain tortured pro-democracy footballers in 2011.Sheikh Salman denies the allegations and Dyke says he accepts the FIFA candidate was not involved, but he added: I dont think anyone from Bahrain should be president of FIFA, given what has happened in recent years.I spoke to every candidate either in person or on the phone. We were impressed by Gianni and by Prince Ali Al Hussein, but in the end we decided to go with the UEFA candidate. Greg Dyke is attempting to introduce modernising measures at the Football Association Its going to be a tough job for whoever wins. A reform programme is much more important than who is the president.Dyke is attempting to pass modernising reforms of his own at the Football Association and met with the organisations 123-strong council on Wednesday to discuss the plans.Among the proposals is a limit on the time council members can serve, and Dyke last month admitted the reforms might meet opposition. Sky Sports News HQ reporter Anton Toloui explains how FA chairman Greg Dyke plans to reform the FA But speaking to SSNHQ after Wednesdays talks, he said: It was a good day.

ROME -- With Edin Dzeko improving match by match and Arkadiusz Milik down and out, Roma has overtaken Napoli as the top challenger to Juventus in Serie A.Dzeko scored twice in Romas 3-1 win at Napoli over the weekend, giving him a league-best seven goals in eight league appearances this season -- just one less than he scored in 31 appearances in his first season with Roma.Initially a disappointment after transferring from Manchester City in August 2015, Dzeko is now displaying the same ruthlessness in front of goal as in his best seasons in the Premier League.Still, Roma coach Luciano Spalletti is not satisfied.Edin is an exceptional player but considering the skills that he has hes still not fully taking advantage of them, Spalletti said.The win moved Roma into second place, five points behind five-time defending champion Juventus.Its too early to say, even though its evident that if we play these matches like this we can attempt to be the anti-Juve, Spalletti said.Napoli, meanwhile, needs to find a better solution with Milik out for six months after tearing a ligament on international duty. The Poland striker had a great start to the season and replacement Manolo Gabbiadini looked lackluster at center forward against Roma.Gabbiadini was booed by the crowd at the San Paolo Stadium after getting replaced by Dries Mertens early in the second half.The energetic Mertens was one of the few bright spots for Napoli and looks to have earned a spot in the lineup against Besiktas in the Champions League on Wednesday.Meanwhile, 40-year-old Roma captain Francesco Totti should play in a Europa League match against Austria Vienna on Thursday after being left on the bench for two straight games.Here are a few other things learned over the weekend in Italian soccer:---JUVES LUXURIES: That Juventus can still win with an error by Gianluigi Buffon and Gonzalo Higuain on the bench has to be worrisome to its rivals.Buffon gifted an early goal to Udinese but Paulo Dybala responded with two scores in a 2-1 win over Udinese that saw Higuain stay on the bench until midway through the second half -- after all of the goals had been scored.The Bianconeri visit Lyon in the Champions League on TTuesday.
