Sepp Blatter’s reign as Fifa president is coming to an end, and the Twitterati are absolutely delighted about it.
Blatter announced at a surprise press conference today that he would be stepping down from the position, just days after being re-elected for a fifth term.
Here is how the good people on social media reacted to the news.
Good news is Blatter is gone. Bad news is I've heard he's after the Newcastle job!!!

Blatter has resigned. Can't quite believe it. FIFA always appeared to be such a fine upstanding organisation.
