Former FIFA president Joao Havelange has been released from hospital in Rio de Janeiro after being admitted with a respiratory infection last week.
The 98-year-old Brazilian travelled back to his home earlier this week after making what a hospital spokeswoman described as "a strong recovery."
He led FIFA, world football's governing body, between from 1974 and 1998. He was succeeded by current incumbent Sepp Blatter -- who is under growing pressure to stand down but wants to serve a fifth term as president.
Havelange resigned from his position as honorary FIFA president last year after the governing body's ethics committee named him as having received bribes.
A Swiss prosecutor's report stated that he had received funds from World Cup broadcasting deals in the 1990s. The document said he had been paid 1.5 million Swiss francs (£1 million), with a potential total of 21.9 million Swiss francs paid to FIFA executives by ISL, a Swiss-based marketing agency that collapsed due to debts in 2001.
An ethics committee report released soon afterwards concluded that Havelange, along with Nicolas Leoz and Ricardo Teixeira, received bribes from the company between 1992 and 2000.
