AIFF sacks Nayeemuddin

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has sacked coach Syed Nayemuddin and the entire technical staff. Nayemuddin was into his third stint as national coach, which lasted just six months before an embarrassing loss to Yemen cost him his job. In all fairness, the Federation gave Nayemuddin whatever he wanted, even suspending the National Football League so the players could prepare for the Asian Qualifiers.
