The head of UEFA's Financial Fair Play investigatory chamber has died.

Jean-Luc Dehaene, a former Belgian prime minister, has reportedly passed away after a fall in France aged 73.

Dehaene would have been the person to sign off any settlement agreement with Manchester City, who have been investigated for a breach of FFP rules.

City are facing a £49m fine and a reduction in Champions League squad size from 25 to 21, but there has been no outcome over a proposed settlement over final figures.

The death of Dehaene could explain the delay.
