Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters during his annual press conference in Moscow on Thursday that he believes suspended FIFA president Sepp Blatter is a "very respected man" who should receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
Putin's comments came the same day FIFA's ethics committee is due to sit to discuss the fate of Blatter, who is currently serving a 90-day suspension amid bribery allegations.

Putin said, according to Russia's Sputnik news wire:
"As for Joseph Blatter, he is a very respected man. He has done a lot for the development of international football. You know, his contribution in the humanitarian sphere in the world is enormous. He always used or tried using football not just as a sport, but as an element of cooperation between countries and peoples. This is who should be given the Nobel Peace Prize."
The next FIFA World Cup will be held in Russia in 2018 after the country controversially won the vote to hold it in 2010.

Putin's yearly press conference saw the Russian leader touch on a wide range of other issues in front of 1,400 journalists, and he continued his war of words with Turkey, whose military downed a Russian warplane on its border with Syria last month.
He reiterated that the downing of the plane was a "hostile act," and that there was "no prospect" of Russia-Turkey relations improving, the BBC reported.
"It is hard for us to reach agreement with the current Turkish leadership, if at all possible," Putin said, according to
Yeni Safak.He added: "The Turks decided to lick the Americans in a certain place," the BBC reported.

The Stamford Bridge fan-favourite has parted ways with the club.
At a meeting on Thursday, the club's directors decided the beleaguered manager should go despite giving him their backing earlier in the season.
In a statement on the club's website, Chelsea confirmed the Portuguese manager's departure from Stamford Bridge:
"All at Chelsea thank Jose for his immense contribution since he returned as manager in the summer of 2013.
"His three league titles, FA Cup, Community Shield and three League Cup wins over two spells make him the most successful manager in our 110-year history. But both Jose and the board agreed results have not been good enough this season and believe it is in the best interests of both parties to go our separate ways.
"The club wishes to make clear Jose leaves us on good terms and will always remain a much-loved, respected and significant figure at Chelsea. His legacy at Stamford Bridge and in England has long been guaranteed and he will always be warmly welcomed back to Stamford Bridge."

But with just 15 points from 15 matches, Chelsea's defence of their Premier League title is in tatters. The club is 16th in the table – just one point above the relegation zone – and there have been clear signs of a rift between Mourinho and some of his most important players.

After the defeat, pundits questioned whether Mourinho's squad were willing to play for him, focusing on one particular incident that saw Chelsea's star player Eden Hazard choose to leave the pitch and play no further part in the game.
Hazard was caught by Leicester striker Jamie Vardy and appeared to hurt his hip in the incident, but some had speculated as to whether the injury was genuine.
His father Thierry Hazard dismissed these claims and told Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad: "These are stories that are invented when things go bad."

The NBA has agreed to let Russian billionaire and Brooklyn Nets majority owner Mikhail Prokhorov become the sole owner of the Nets and Barclays Center, the team's home stadium, according to a Bloomberg reporter.
BuzzFeed News has contacted the NBA and Prokhorov's representatives for comment.
Prokhorov currently owns 80% of the Nets, while former principal owner Bruce Ratner owns 20% of the team. Prokhorov also owns 45% of the Barclays Center, where the Nets and now New York Islanders play home games.
In addition to the two basketball teams, the stadium also hosts lucrative concerts.

The NBA has told Prokhorov that if he were to sell his ownership in the Nets he would also have to sell his ownership stakes in the stadium as well. Becoming the sole owner of each will simplify any potential sale of the team and stadium to new ownership, should Prokhorov decide to sell.
Prokhorov's representatives has previously told BuzzFeed News they are "always open to listening to offers – that's just good business," but have asserted that there is no active pursuit to sell the team and/or stadium.
Prokhorov purchased the majority ownership of the Nets and partial ownership of the Barclays Center in 2010 for $200 million. In January 2015, Forbes valued the Nets at $1.5 billion.
