Croatian World Cupper Igor Stimac: The dispute between the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and the recently sacked men’s team head coach, Croatian World Cupper Igor Stimac, seems to be a never-ending saga.

While Stimac has levelled several allegations of non-cooperation by the AIFF, including the ‘unlawful’ termination of his contract, the AIFF, on its part, has vehemently denied the charges in an official statement issued by it.

The Federation, while terminating the contract, offered three-month salary as compensation, while Stimac demanded full salary till January 2026, as per the redrafted contract signed on October 5, 2023, as there is no ‘severance clause’ in his last agreement.
