Berlin, May 17 : German football federation (DFB) president Fritz Keller resigned on Monday after comparing vice president Rainer Koch to a Nazi judge.
Keller, who at first resisted resigning, stated last week he was ready to leave his position after he compared Koch to Nazi judge Roland Freisler at a meeting in April. Further details of the comparison are not known.
In a statement, Keller said he was "taking personal responsibility" for his "lapse at the executive committee meeting, which is to remain the sad low point of the DFB's desolate leadership situation", DPA reports.
