Greg Dyke insisted FIFA cannot continue under Sepp Blatter, despite the Swiss winning the presidential election in Zurich on Friday.

After a first round of voting incumbent Blatter failed to win a two thirds majority, with the count set at 133 to 73 with three spoiled.

It was set to go to a second ballot but his opponent Prince Ali withdrew to hand Blatter the election, and a record fifth term in office.

But FA chief Dyke insisted change had to come despite the result.

When stopped outside the congress for his immediate reaction to the news that Blatter has been re-elected he said: "We think that's the impact of the events of this week, but this isn't over by any means.

"The events of this week were so dramatic for FIFA, but I cannot see FIFA reforming itself under Blatter," he told Sky News. "He's had 16 years to reform it but he hasn't done it."

When pressed on whether this means England may be pulling out of future World Cups, Dyke said that wouldn't happen without support.

"England won't withdraw from anything on its own and you can be absolutely certain about that. That would be ridiculous," he added. "There will be discussions I think in FIFA about this result and what FIFA should do next but that won't be England alone."

Dyke also stressed that he feels there will be more to this story in the coming weeks and this result does not signify the end: "This is the beginning not the end. I think there is a lot more of this to play out."

Gary Lineker added his disgust at the result on Twitter.

“As predictable as it is depressing. All those FIFA members that voted for Blatter have betrayed the game they are supposed to cherish,” he wrote.

Luis Figo, himself a candidate before pulling out of the race earlier this month, did not mince his words when speaking about the Swiss.

"If Mr Blatter were minimally concerned about football, he would have given up on re-election," said the former Portugal star.

"Mr Blatter had a very cynical reaction when he said that he couldn’t control everyone. It offends everyone’s intelligence.

"Football is not guilty... but the governing body’s leaders, who should regulate it, have no integrity or honesty.

"There’s no way someone can lead FIFA ignoring the most elementary rules of transparency, legality and democracy.

"If he has a minimal of decency, he will resign in the next few days.

"This vote has only served to endorse the election of a man who can’t remain in charge of world football."

Despite recent controversies, Blatter remained defiant that the World Cup will remain in Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022 – and insisted that he is the man to bring about change in the organisation.

"Thank you for the next four years. I will command FIFA. I will bring it back to the beach from offshore, we can play everywhere but we have to work on that," he said.

"I take the responsibility to bring back FIFA. I'm convinced we can do it."

Luis Figo's statement in full

This vote has only served to endorse the election of a man who can’t remain in charge of world football. Instead of what Mr. Blatter said, the happenings of last Wednesday were not bad for football: they were bad for FIFA and for all the responsible that lead the organization until now. Football is not guilty but is the governing body’s leaders, who should regulate it, that have no integrity or honesty

There’s no way someone can lead FIFA ignoring the most elementary rules of transparency, legality and democracy. These rules were not reunited as I denounced and, later, as I found out.

Mr. Blatter knew and was aware of the acts of corruption, influence and racketeering or, if he did not know – as he says – it’s because he has no skills to lead FIFA. There is no other way to analyze the problem.

Facing these facts, Mr. Blatter, the principal responsible by FIFA has reached this point, being reelected, that shows exactly how the organization is sick.

Today was another dark day in Zurich. FIFA has lost, but above everything, football has lost and everyone who truly cares about it has lost too.

Mr. Blatter had a very cynical reaction when he said that he couldn’t control everyone. It offends everyone’s intelligence. These persons, whom Mr. Blatter has promoted through years, turned, with him, FIFA in to a decadent organization.

If Mr. Blatter were minimally concerned about football, he would have given up of the reelection. If he has a minimal of decency, he will resign in the next few days.

I regret nothing. I fought, I persisted, I made an effort for the regeneration of this organization that has to change course. We live in an emergency situation and football is the damaged party on this.

I’ve denounced what I directly lived. I would do it again. And I remain available to help FIFA rebuild after this.
