RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Marco Polo Del Nero, the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation, said he did not plan to resign and "had nothing to do" with corruption, at a press conference on Friday. Del Nero left a gathering of world soccer association FIFA in Switzerland ahead of the group's presidential election, following the arrest of nine senior FIFA officials including former CBF chief Jose Maria Marin.
