All India Football Federation: Following a surprising turn of events which saw the Indian football men’s national team coach, Igor Stimac parting ways with the All India Football Federation (AIFF), the Croatian penned an emotional farewell post for the fans on social media.

The coach had a contract that was valid until 2026 but India’s embarrassing exit from the 2026 FIFA WC Qualifiers was the final straw for the fans and the federation who called for him to leave.

"To all Indian football fans and my blue tigers, It’s been an honour to serve you over the last 5 years. I didn’t expect to form such a strong bond with this country and be so personally invested when I first joined you all. I’m proud of every player and team member. Together we were able to create an environment of hope and belief, we pushed each other physically and mentally to play fearless, intelligent football, which required a lot of courage and effort," read the post shared by Stimac on 'X'.
