Aleksander Ceferin has been elected the new president of UEFA.

Ceferin, the head of the Slovenian Football Association since 2011 who came from nowhere to win the support of 42 of the 55 UEFA voting members, won the support of smaller federations by complaining they were not properly consulted about the changes to the Champions League in which Italy, England, Spain and Germany are guaranteed four slots. The deal was agreed upon to keep the bigger clubs from creating their own breakaway competition.

“We were not informed properly, I still think so,” he said after overcoming Michael van Praag, his more experienced Dutch FA rival. “About everything else, we will have to sit down and see what is the agreement and what we can do in future about it.”

Senior Uefa sources said it was highly unlikely that the deal would be unpicked and the FA chief executive, Martin Glenn, said Gill had been careful to walk a difficult tightrope.

“It will be one of Aleksander Ceferin’s first big decisions,” Glenn said. “It hasn’t happened yet so technically it can [be unpicked]. David sought to strike a middle ground between defending English club’s interests and trying to prevent a potential worst-case scenario of big clubs leaving. He was trying to strike the middle ground. He is a bright guy and understands all the trade-offs.”

Mauricio Pochettino has dismissed suggestions Tottenham could struggle with the transition to Wembley when they host Monaco in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Spurs will play their European fixtures at the 90,000-capacity national stadium while their new ground - to succeed White Hart Lane, presently reduced to 32,000 - is being developed.

“We trust in us,” said Pochettino. “We believe in the way we play and it’s a good chance to play on a big pitch. We need to adapt our game.

“We feel good at White Hart Lane because it’s our home and we need to feel good at Wembley. With two pitches [at the training ground] we designed the same dimensions as Wembley. We change between the pitches to keep the grass at a good level. We use different pitches on different days during the week. You have more space to play, it’s more difficult for the opponent to press you when [there are] more metres to run, but the same for both.”

Yaya Toure has been left out of Pep Guardiola's roster for the Champions League.

Toure has featured just once this season for City, which was a meaningless second leg of the Champions League knockout round.

Leroy Sané and Ilkay Gündogan, two midfielders bought this summer but who have yet to play because of injury, are included in the Champions League squad.
