Embattled Chinese Football Association (CFA) vice president Xie Yalong is set to step down following a closed-door meeting on Tuesday.
He will be sent to the China National School of Administration for a three-month academic course, effectively stripping him of the CFA post.
Though fans and the media have been calling on him to quit, Xie expressed surprise at the decision.
