August 4 \u2013\u00a0FIFPRO\u2019s\u00a0Secretary\u00a0General Alex Phillips has\u00a0departed\u00a0the organisation, the world players\u2019 union said on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a brief statement, FIFPRO\u00a0wrote that Phillips \u201cplayed\u00a0an important role\u00a0in implementing the reforms approved by FIFPRO\u2019s member unions following the organisation\u2019s governance review.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking closely with the Board, member unions and staff, he helped strengthen FIFPRO\u2019s structures, executive management and operational framework during an important period of organisational development.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

FIFPRO President Sergio Marchi added: \u201cAlex has made a valuable contribution to FIFPRO during an important period in our organisation\u2019s development. His work in driving the implementation of the reforms approved by our member unions has strengthened the organisation and positioned FIFPRO well for the future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two years ago, Phillips arrived at FIFPRO after having administered the World Remission Fund at FIFA. That year, FIFPRO Europe and the European Leagues filed a formal legal complaint against FIFA with the European commission accusing FIFA of abusing its dominant market position and breaching EU law.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

FIFPRO and FIFA were at loggerheads and FIFA boss Gianni Infantino repeatedly asked the union to drop the complaint. On the eve of the World Cup, FIFPRO Europe signed a memorandum of understanding with the global governing body over the\u00a0transfer system and player welfare standards that withdrew all legal proceedings against FIFA.\u00a0<\/p>\n
