The 68-year-old had said he would stand for a further year but said on Thursday that opposition to proposed governance reform to the FA council had caused him to reconsider.
London: English Football Association (FA) chairman Greg Dyke has said he would not seek re-election when his current term ends in July.
The 68-year-old had said he would stand for a further year but said on Thursday that opposition to proposed governance reform to the FA council had caused him to reconsider.
"What I now see is that even if we get the reform through (which will be a difficult and divisive process although essential), I am probably not the best person to pick up the pieces following the inevitable discord," he said in a statement.
Dyke, a prominent opponent of FIFA president Sepp Blatter during the recent corruption scandal within world soccer's governing body, took over from David Bernstein in 2013.
