AIFF to respond to ousted coach Stimac's remarks in next 48 hours

The All India Football Federation said on Friday that it will respond to ousted national coach Igor Stimac's scathing attack against some of its senior functionaries in the next 48 hours, after the Croatian blamed AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey for the problems besetting the game in the country. Stimac was on Monday sacked as head coach following the team's failure to reach the third round of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. A day later, he also threatened to file a lawsuit against the AIFF in the FIFA Tribunal if his outstanding dues were not cleared in 10 days.
