AIFF sacks General Secretary Shaji Prabhakaran
New Delhi: The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has sacked its general secretary Shaji Prabhakaran with immediate effect due to “breach of trust”, the national governing body said on Wednesday.
It said that AIFF Deputy Secretary M Satyanarayana will take over as the Acting General Secretary of AIFF with immediate effect.
Prabhakaran was appointed general secretary of AIFF last September. His name was approved unanimously in the executive committee meeting chaired by Kalyan Choubey.
Recently, concerns have been emerging regarding Prabhakaran’s functioning within the AIFF Executive Committee and his high monthly salary.
Prabhakaran has complained about the lack of funds within the federation for the implementation of the Video Assistant Referral (VAR) system.
