Michel François Platini (born 21 June 1955) is a retired French footballer. He was the president of UEFA between 2007 and 2015. In 2015, he was banned from football due to ethics violations.[5] He is regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time.[6][7] He was the all-time top scorer for France between June 19, 1984 (when he overtook Just Fontaine's record) and October 17, 2007 (when Thierry Henry became France's top scorer).

As a player, he played for Nancy-Lorraine, A.S. Saint-Étienne, and Juventus. He won the Ballon d'Or three times as a player (in 1983, 1984, 1985).
