In a heated critique, former India football coach Igor Stimac has lambasted AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey, suggesting that Indian football's growth is being stifled under his leadership.

Stimac's termination on Monday followed India's failure to advance in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. The Croat coach, visibly frustrated, hinted at legal action against the All India Football Federation if his dues remained unpaid.

'Football is the most popular sport in the world, but India is the only place where football is not growing,' stated Stimac, as he recounted his challenges and health issues faced during his tenure.
