    "editor1": "AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey: Sacked by the All-India Football Federation (AIFF) following a disastrous World Cup Qualification bid, India head coach Igor Stimac has dropped many bombshells in his final address to Indian media. The Croatian coach slammed the current president of the AIFF, Kalyan Chaubey, and labeled him a \u2018liar\u2019.<p>\u201cKalyan, you are the one lying not me. Sooner he leaves, Indian football stands a chance. Indian football needs someone powerful and influential. The only time Kalyan is powerful is when he walks with armed guards in Kolkata. Apart from that no one knows him,\u201d said Stimac in a press conference. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is the latest development in the ongoing war of words between the AIFF and Stimac after he was sacked following India\u2019s exit in the second round of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers. It will be interesting to see how the AIFF and its President Kalyan Chaubey respond to these latest allegations. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cMe and Kalyan never had a relationship, it was obvious. I reported to the secretary general. The president doesn\u2019t indulge in these things. When Kalyan came and was elected president, our first meeting at the Hyatt lasted for three minutes in which he looked at his watch five times,\" said Stimac. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shaji Prabhakaran was recently criticised as he was in power when Stimac renewed his contract till 2026. Stimac was questioned on Shaji\u2019s sacking and whether the move was good for Indian football.  \u201cThe sacking of Shaji can\u2019t be good, if you start a process and start working together and before even a year you have a fight. It is wrong and shows negatively,\u201d added the 56-year-old. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>All footballing decisions which include the coach\u2019s appointment and contract are handled by the technical committee of the AIFF which is led by chairman and football legend I.M. Vijayan. The Croatian took time to express his feelings for the former player.  \u201cIM Vijayan is a great footballer and legend in Indian football but not the right person to be chairman of a Technical Committee,\u201d he concluded. <\/p>\r\n\r\n",
