Drama ensues! Recently sacked AIFF Secretary General Shaji Prabhakaran has opened up on his termination. Prabhakaran was officially terminated by Kalyan Chaubey and Co. on Tuesday afternoon. The development has raised concerns about the country’s football administration’s stability. M Satyanarayan, AIFF Deputy Secretary, will take over as Acting Secretary General of AIFF immediately.

However, taking to Twitter soon after the decision, Prabhakaran himself claimed that the decision came as a shock to him. He also insisted that reason cited was a major allegation.

“AIFF’s decision to terminate me comes as a shock. We were working as a team. Charging me for ‘breach of trust’ is a massive allegation.” Shaji Prabhakaran.

The AIFF president, Kalyan Chaubey, formally terminated Shaji Prabhakaran of his duties as secretary general, citing a “trust deficit” as the key cause for the termination. Shaji Prabhakaran took on the high-profile post on September 3, 2022, ushering in a new era for Indian football administration. However, Prabhakaran’s term ended abruptly.

Chaubey’s firing letter has raised concerns about the dynamics of the AIFF and the relationships between major parties. The existence of a “trust deficit” between the president and the secretary general has prompted worries about the AIFF’s working environment. Not just Chaubey, but also members of the AIFF executive committee, were allegedly displeased with the his performance.

The decision’s aftermath raises various concerns regarding the future of Indian football management. It is critical to comprehend the ramifications of this abrupt transition and how it may affect the AIFF’s operations and goals in the future.

While the AIFF has yet to clarify the exact grounds for the abrupt termination, Shaji Prabhakaran has asserted that there is more to the tale than meets the eye. He was adamant about progressively disclosing what happened between him and the Federation. Currently, the chaos of inconsistency and poor administration persists.
