He resigned from ANFA CEO and NSC coaching job before contesting in provincial election last month. However he lost the election. On Tuesday, he announced his candidacy, which is little surprising for all.

ANFA VP Mani Kunwar is expected to run for the office. He is the brother-in-law of then ANFA president Ganesh Thapa, who is suspended by FIFA for ten years on corruption charges.

4) Narendra Shrestha
Veteran Narendra Shrestha is expected to run for the office but sources said he would pave way for Mani Kunwar.

Challenges:

There are many challenges at ANFA. The newly elected president should first start re-form process before making further plans. Organization of league, national team long term plan, decentralization of programs & funds, academy set up in seven provinces, youth academy projects and democratic approach in the office are some of the challenges he should fix.

No official confirmation about filing candidacy has been made yet. Time will disclose the candidates for the post and what luring their agenda will be.
