The newly elected president of All Nepal coaches' association president Binod Lama has irked other elected officials in the association.

It is confirmed that president Lama, who defeated former Nepal skipper Hari Khadka, nominated himself for voting rights for ANFA election without calling an exco meeting.

The other officials have protested against the move.

It is interesting why ANFA didn't oppose when Lama submitted his name.

Sources said Lama is fully controlled by the group at ANFA who doesn't want change.

Former skipper Hari Khadka took to social media to express his views.

"The newly elected president nominated himself for voting rights without calling an exco meeting. What is this? Is this (system) same as before?

Lama wasn't reachable when GoalNepal tried to contact.

ANFA's spokesperson Sanjeev Mishra said that Lama submitted his nomination as per regulation.

"It would have been better if he had ratified the decision through ex-co meeting", said Mishra.

Coaches' association VP Bal Gopal Maharjan said the process was autocratic.

"We are very surprised to see his move. This is not done for the betterment of coaches. It proves he (Lama) is controlled by a group of people at ANFA who doesn't want to bring change", said Maharjan.

The association later met under the chairmanship of VP Bal Gopal Maharjan after president Lama didn't turn up in the meeting.

The meeting endorsed VP Maharjan as voting right holder and two other officials (Aruna Gurung and Rajendra Tamang) for ANFA congrass.

The meeting also decided to write to appeal committee regarding decision solely made by president Lama.

ANFA is holding central election on March 28, 2018.
