MANAMA, May 9 (Reuters) - FIFA's chief ethics investigator and ethics judge were both replaced on Tuesday by the ruling council of global soccer's governing body, a FIFA source said on Tuesday.

Ethics judge Hans-Joachim Eckert and chief investigator Cornel Borbely will not have their mandates, which ran until Thursday's FIFA congress, renewed despite expressing a desire to continue their work cleaning up FIFA.

During their time in charge of FIFA's Ethics Committee, the pair have overseen the suspension and expulsion of a series of officials including former FIFA President Sepp Blatter and Secretary General Jerome Valcke.
