Sepp Blatter has been re-elected unopposed as the head of football's world governing body FIFA for a new four-year term.
The 208-member FIFA congress voted on the presidency in Zurich overnight.
Blatter was the only candidate in the election, with his former rival Mohamed Bin Hammam suspended pending investigation over bribery allegations.
He says he is the man to steer the ship through troubled waters, and he has promised to overhaul World Cup voting, and FIFA's Ethics Committee.
"We will need some time we cannot do it from one day to the next," Blatter said.
The English football association had pushed to get the vote postponed, but was chastised for its rebellion.
