The 73-year-old will replace Jose Maria Marin next January on a four-year term since he has been elected unopposed, the CBF announced Wednesday, reports Xinhua.

Currently the CBF's vice-president and chairman of Brazilian Serie B club Figueirense, Del Nero vowed to bring "continuity" to the post.

"The president (Marin) and his administration, of which I am a part, achieved important advances, such as bringing football to the whole country," Del Nero said during a press conference.

"There are aspects that need to be improved and we will seek and accept suggestions."
