VIDEO: Acting FIFA president falls asleep during press conference
It's been a busy Thursday in Zurich, filled with early morning police raids and discussions of FIFA reform, which probably explains why acting FIFA president Issa Hayatou couldn't stay awake during a press conference.
Hayatou, who's filling in for suspended FIFA president Sepp Blatter, was captured falling asleep during Thursday's meeting with the media to address the raids that saw various FIFA officials taken into custody, as well as reform measures being discussed by FIFA's executive committee.

Whatever the reason for his fatigue, it's obviously not a good look under the circumstances.
