Bob Houghten's Tenure ends
The AIFF is not interested in any compromise formula with national football coach Bob Houghton, who is facing racial abuse charges, and his nearly five-year tenure at the helm is as good as over, top sources said today.
Sources said that there was no truth in the reports that Houghton and the AIFF are negotiating for a compromise formula to drop the racial abuse charges if the coach quits immediately.
"He is not going to step onto the field with the Indian team again. The Asian Cup in Doha (in January) was his last assignment," a source told PTI.
The AIFF is also unlikely to pay six months' salary as compensation to Houghton, who was appointed coach in 2006.
