He'll say he's sorry for the distraction that this misunderstanding has caused, lay low for a few weeks or months and then get another position when one's available. There's a also a 0.1% chance that this won't be the end of the scandal and they'll look into what other tax dodging and illegal things he's been upto. Considering he didn't immediately get fired, I imagine he has enough connections or dirt on important people to prevent that.

I disagree. Qatar took over an event that doesn't typically have these sorts of issues. They should never have been allowed to host, but given they are they should be accomodating of the typical world cup crowd. Theres no excuse for being intolerant of the very fans you sought to lure in. There's definitely no excuse for not having suitable accomodation ready. They knew the timing and attendance is way down on what they were expecting given a large number of people are boycotting.
