BARCELONA (Reuters) - Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) president Angel Maria Villar said he plans to seek re-election to his country's governing body later this year if he fails in a bid to become UEFA president.

Villar has been acting head of the European football federation since October 2015, when Michel Platini was suspended from all football-related activities for six years - later reduced to four - for ethics violations.
