NEW DELHI: The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Saturday issued a show-cause notice to senior men's team head coach Igor Stimac for making comments construed as a breach of agreement by his employers.

Hitting out at some of the ISL clubs for their unwillingness to release players for the national camp in prepara-tion for the Asian Games, World Cup Qualifiers and the Asian Cup, Stimac said if Indian football needs his help, he will need to tell the truth.

The former Croatian defender coming out in the open with his views didn't go down well with the AIFF brass, as they sought a response from the coach.

Stimac's remarks came as the Indian team prepares to play in the four-day King's Cup tournament starting Sep-tember 7 in Thailand. Agencies
