World football`s governing body Fifa has dismissed secretary general Jerome Valcke.The Frenchman, 55, was provisionally suspended from football for his alleged involvement in a scheme to profit from the sale of World Cup tickets.He was released from his duties on 17 September after being accused of a series of Fifa ethics code breaches.Appointed in 2007, the former right-hand man of Fifa president Sepp Blatter has denied any wrongdoing."The duties of the secretary general will continue to be assumed by the acting secretary general, Dr Markus Kattner," read a Fifa statement.Fifa`s ethics committee said on 7 January that it had decided to open "formal adjudicatory proceedings" against Valcke after studying a report submitted by its investigatory chamber.Valcke has also been accused of being party to a potential £6.8m ($10m) bribe paid to Jack Warner, the former head of the North and Central America football governing body Concacaf, in return for his vote and backing to South Africa`s successful bid to host the 2010 World Cup.Fifa`s ethics committee has already recommended that Valcke should be banned from all footballing activities for nine years.Blatter and vice-president Michel Platini were both suspended for eight years in December following a Fifa ethics investigation.Valcke has now been sacked twice by Fifa.He joined the organisation in 2003 as director of marketing and TV, but was dismissed in 2006 over a scandal involving its long-time sponsorship partner Mastercard.He was found to have negotiated with Mastercard`s rival Visa in violation of the former company`s right of first negotiation, which cost Fifa $90m (£61.3m) in a settlement. -BBC
