American football coach Mino Raiola, whose prestigious clients include Paul Pogba of Manchester United, has seen his worldwide ban lifted by FIFA, echoing the action of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) the eve, the federation announced Friday.
Raiola, 51, was suspended by FIGC last April as the FIFA Disciplinary Committee initially extended the sanctions to an international level in May.
"The chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee today issued a procedural order informing the intermediaries Carmine Raiola and Vincenzo Raiola that the global extension of their suspensions had been canceled with immediate effect", according to a statement from the FIFA.

However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne on Wednesday suspended the suspension on appeal, which was canceled Thursday by the Italian Federal Court of Appeal.
Raiola and his cousin Vincenzo would have been banned from transfer activity for their alleged poaching of former PSV Eindhoven player Gianluca Scamacca, now with Italian club Sbaduolo, to his agents.
Raiola, who also represents LA Galaxy striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt, said the initial sanctions in Italy were "based on false motives and lies".
The ban would have left the super agent unable to act for his clients in the current transfer window. But he has now been knocked down and this is good news for Pogba, who is rumored to be considering a stellar exit from United.
Now that his agent is again able to represent him, he could help negotiate an exchange elsewhere, thus increasing the chances of a potential move.
