KATHMANDU, August 2: Kiran Rai, spokesperson for All Nepal Football Association (ANFA), has resigned from his post.

Rai's resignation came in the wake of his differences over the decision to give responsibility to the Ministry of Sports to probe the dispute between Head Coach of Nepal Men’s National Football Team, Abdullah Almutairi and Vice-Chair of ANFA Pankaj Bikram Nembang. Rai handed over his resignation to ANFA Chairman Karma Tsering Sherpa on Monday.

Earlier, Coach Almutairi had announced his resignation, maintaining that Vice Chairman Nembang had been obstructing him from doing his duty. Almutairi had also filed a petition against the vice-chairman Nembang and two journalists.

Meanwhile, the journalists also filed a petition demanding investigation against Almutairi accusing him of misbehaving with them. Vice-chairman Nembang also filed a petition accusing Almutairi of making personal allegations and demanded an inquiry into the case.
