		Havelangeâs aim was to "erase all the white areas from the world football map".
		When Havelange took over at FIFA, he called in his General Secretary Helmut Kaeser and told him: "I donât know how much you earn, but from today your salary will be doubled." To push through his development programme, Havelange appointed Sepp Blatter, then a director at the watch company Longines, as the first technical director.
		Havelange is a perfectionist, sometimes appearing impatient because he does not wish to waste time and always steering towards his objective in the most direct manner possible.
