TOKYO (Reuters) - Mizuho Financial Group Chief Executive Officer Tatsufumi Sakai intends to step down to take responsibility for a series of system failures this year, the Nikkei business daily reported on Thursday.

The banking group's nomination committee will start discussions to select a new management team, the Nikkei said.

When asked for comment, a Mizuho spokesperson said nothing has been decided.
