Aigner is soon to leave Uefa

He also admitted European football's governing body should have done more to stop the influx of overseas players.

"It doesn't make sense to have no English player in an English team," Aigner told the BBC.

"There must be a rule that says the English championship should be played by a majority of English players."

He added: "It would help leagues like those in Denmark and Sweden to keep some of their players on board and strengthen their league."

Aigner also described the Bosman rule, which allows out of contract players to move without a fee being paid to their club, as a "disaster for sport and especially for football".

"All of the excesses we know now and many of the problems in the game come back to the decision," he admitted.

"I think we could have revised the transfer rules in a coherent way and kept the rule which limits the movement of the players.

"It is a matter of sport being good or sport going in the wrong way and it is going in the wrong way due to this decision," he added.
