Indian coach Pravin Gordhan has been forced to give up his post and announce his retirement from the I-League as a result of the team’s financial mismanagement, officials said.
Gordhan, 63, made his debut for Sri Lanka’s side at the 1998 World Cup in England. His teams fell out of the finals after he was replaced as coach by coach Muneeruddin, who was sacked in June last year.

“He has asked me to reconsider my decision of quitting the I-League, and that may mean that he will return to India soon,” the Sri Lankan coach said.

“I have spoken with Muneeruddin about the matter as it was the one that caused problems for us,” he said. “It was his first attempt at coaching in Sri Lanka but it didn’t work out.”
