55, Valche was provisionally suspended from football over his alleged involvement in a to profit World Cup tickets sales scandal.
He was suspended on September 17 after being accused of breaches of Fifa ethics codes.
The former right-hand man of Fifa President, Sepp Blatter, who was appointed Secretary General in September 2007 has denied all the allegations of wrongdoing.
The acting secretary general, Dr Markus Kattner, would continue to function in that office. Fifa’s ethics committee said on January 7, 2016 that it had decided to open “formal adjudicatory proceedings” against Valcke after studying a report submitted by its investigatory chamber.
Valcke has also been accused of being party to a potential £6.8 million ($10 million) bribe paid to Jack Warner, the former head of the North and Central America football governing body Concacaf, in return for his vote and backing to South Africa’s successful bid to host the 2010 World Cup.
Fifa’s ethics committee has already recommended that Valcke should be banned from all footballing activities for nine years.
Blatter and vice-president Michel Platini were both suspended for eight years in December following a Fifa ethics investigation.
