UEFA overwhelmingly elected surprise candidate Aleksander Ceferin of Slovenia as its new president Wednesday and he vowed to review a deal over Champions League places for major clubs.
The 48-year-old lawyer, who has only headed the Slovenian federation since 2011 and was little known in international sport until he emerged as a UEFA candidate in June, beat Dutch football chief Michael van Praag by 42 votes to 13 at a special congress of the 55-member European body.
