ZURICH --
Tennis great Billie Jean King has challenged FIFA and new president Gianni Infantino to hire more women for senior jobs.
King says in a keynote speech at FIFA headquarters that the world soccer body has a chance to transform itself after years of corruption scandals.
Addressing a women's soccer leadership conference, King tells the watching Infantino: ''No pressure, but the world is counting on you.''
King suggests ''three concrete steps'' for FIFA to take: one-third of management hires should be women; appoint a CEO-like secretary general with ''a proven track record of supporting gender equality''; appoint staff to create a commercial strategy for women's soccer.
Infantino was elected 10 days ago, shortly after FIFA members also voted through a reform package that commits them to promote women's soccer.
