“The coach has written to us apologising for his unsporting conduct,” said the I-League chief executive officer Sunando Dhar. “Since it was his first offence, we decided not to take it to the disciplinary committee and issue a warning.”
The committee, which met here, also accepted a proposal from the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to change the name of the AIFF XI to Indian Arrows from February.
Apart from making a few changes in the I-League schedule because of pre-Olympic, pre-World Cup and AFC Cup matches, the committee also decided to stage the final rounds of the second division I-League in Meghalaya.
Mohammedan Sporting, Southern Samity and Aryan are likely to feature in the second division.
