BERLIN (Reuters) - German Football Association (DFB) chief Fritz Keller on Tuesday offered to step down after the end of a sports court hearing next week over a Nazi comment directed at a vice president, with several other top officials set to leave their posts.

Keller, who took over as President in September 2019 with a brief to reform an organisation plagued by scandal over irregular payments, faces a sports court judgement over the comment addressed to vice president Rainer Koch.

Keller last month referred to Koch, a civil judge, as"Freisler", a reference to notorious Nazi judge Roland Freisler, a participant at the 1942 conference at which the Nazis laid out their"final solution" to exterminate the Jews.
