PARIS: UEFA president Michel Platini says he remains unsure whether he will run for the same post at the head of world governing body FIFA when current president Sepp Blatter’s mandate expires in 2015.

“I am in the middle of thinking whether it is good or not good but I will certainly say something at Dubrovnik (the Croatian city where the next UEFA executive committee meetings will be held on September 19 and 20),” the Frenchman told sports daily L’Equipe.
