Former India striker and assistant coach of the U-17 women’s football team, Alex Ambrose, 40, is furious at the All India Football Federation (AIFF) for firstly “tarnishing his reputation with false allegations of sexual misconduct” and then sacking him “unfairly and unconstitutionally.”
Sent home from Europe
Dadar resident Ambrose was sent home midway through the team’s ongoing tour of Italy and Norway as part of India’s preparations ahead of hosting the U-17 World Cup in October, after one of the players levelled charges of sexual misconduct against him. Subsequently, AIFF, via an email on July 1, summoned him for a disciplinary hearing on July 4 at their headquarters in New Delhi. Ambrose requested for a later date as he had just arrived from Italy and needed time to make his travel arrangements. However, a day later, on July 2, AIFF terminated his contract.
