Former Tottenham defender Ramon Vega looks set to declare his candidacy to replace Sepp Blatter as president of FIFA.
Vega, whose other teams included Celtic and Watford, is expected to officially announce his intention to head the organisation by the end of the week.
Vega has also called on UEFA president Michel Platini to "concentrate on retaining the UEFA job".

Both Blatter and Platini are currently suspended pending investigations into an alleged "disloyal payment" made by Blatter to Platini.
Vega, who established a successful finance career after retiring from the game, told The Guardian: "The last few years I've been really distanced.
"I'm still in the finance world, advising lots of European clubs from a financial point of view, balance sheets, restructuring.

Vega on Platini
"There are people who have an interest in getting this sorted out in a manner where tranquility and stability can follow.
"You need a nuclear scenario, a clean break from the past."
Vega clearly believes this does not involve Platini who could be barred from running for the FIFA presidency depending on the exact length of his suspension.
Vega added: "The block that has been happening through the Platini scenario has not allowed a debate to develop.
"He needs to stand back, put his hands up and concentrate on retaining the UEFA job.
"At the moment the governing body of UEFA has the potential to put forward a good candidate and it is being blocked through loyalty to Platini.
"There is nothing wrong with loyalty but it has to go hand in hand with common sense."
