ANGEL Maria Villar has been temporarily handed UEFA´s main responsibilities following president Michel Platini´s suspension.
It marks the first time a Spaniard has led European football´s main governing body.
Villar will take over Platini´s duties during the Frenchman´s 90-day suspension, but will remain in his vice-president´s capacity.
Villar will have to consult with UEFA´s executive committee before making any decisions.
