German football chief resigns over corruption allegations
The president of the German Football Association (DFB) has resigned over a Fifa payment that has resulted in a tax evasion investigation.
Wolfgang Niersbach said he was taking the "political responsibility" for a controversial 6.7m euro (£4.9m) payment to Fifa.
The sum was allegedly used to bribe officials of world football's governing body to vote for Germany's 2006 World Cup bid.
