FIFA vice-president Jack Warner has resigned from all his positions in international football, the world governing body confirmed on Monday.


Warner, the influential head of the Caribbean, North and Central American federation (CONCACAF), was suspended last month over claims he conspired with Asian football chief Mohamed bin Hammam to buy votes in an attempt to topple FIFA supremo Sepp Blatter in the presidential election earlier this month.

"As a consequence of Mr Warner's resignation, all ethics committee procedures against him have been closed and the presumption of innocence is maintained," said a FIFA statement.
