Football Association board member David Gill has revealed that he will "reconsider" his decision to leave his FIFA role following the resignation of Sepp Blatter.
Gill had been in line to replace Jim Boyce on the FIFA Executive Committee, but turned down the opportunity after it was confirmed that Blatter would serve a fifth term in office.
However, just four days after ousting Prince Ali in the presidential elections, Blatter this afternoon announced that he is to stand down from his position at the head of world football's governing body.
Gill is yet to confirm whether he will go through with his initial decision, but hinted that Blatter's exit could see him perform a U-turn.
"Naturally, I fully welcome today's news as a major step forward for FIFA on the road to proper reform," read a statement on the FA's official website.
"As I announced following the election at FIFA Congress, I simply could not countenance serving on the FIFA Executive Committee alongside Mr Blatter. I respect his decision but am pleased he is standing aside and by the clear determination for real change within FIFA. This in turn allows me to reconsider my position.
"Having yet to confirm formally my resignation, I am more than willing to play my part in helping to bring about a positive future for FIFA and to work with the many people within the organisation who are only committed to developing and promoting the game around the world. I will speak to my UEFA colleagues as soon as possible about the next steps and make no further comment until then."
FA chairman Greg Dyke has also expressed his delight at Blatter's resignation.
