Shaji Prabhakaran said that All India Football Federation’s (AIFF) decision to terminate him from the post of AIFF secretary general came as a shock on Wednesday.
“AIFF’s decision to terminate me comes as a shock. We were working as a team. Charging me for ‘breach of trust’ is a massive allegation,” Shaji posted on X.
“More on this later. I remain a servant of the beautiful game and thank you all who have supported me in my honest effort for Indian football, “ he added.
The decision was taken by President Kalyan Chaubey with the AIFF’s executive committee set to provide the final approval.

Confirming the decision, Chaubey told Sportstar: “There was a lot of resentment about his functioning among the members of the AIFF which forced us to terminate his contract.”
AIFF released a statement announcing that Shaji’s contract has been terminated with immediate effect due to ‘breach of trust’.
The statement also said that AIFF Deputy Secretary M Satyanarayan will take charge as Acting Secretary General with immediate effect.
