FIFA security director Chris Eaton is leaving football's governing body just weeks after he launched a global campaign to fight match-fixing.
FIFA says Eaton will join the Qatar-based International Center for Sport Security in May.
Eaton was expected to lead FIFA's yearlong campaign to investigate corrupt players, coaches, referees and football officials after a spate of match-fixing allegations in dozens of countries.
Eaton, a former detective from Australia, had brought a new rigor to FIFA investigations since he joined from the police liaison agency Interpol ahead of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
