The players who revolted against the situation that arose in the national team's closed camp have chosen the dismissal of head coach Abdullah Almutairi as a workable solution. The players demanded Almutairi's dismissal in a meeting with the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) to solve the current problem.
Following Rohit Chand's removal from the national team's closed training, the senior player wanted to speak with the head coach. Rohit had demanded from coach Almutairi during the training that the players be provided with appropriate lodging and food. Almutairi had asked Chand to leave after receiving the same demand, claiming that he had no place in the camp.
The senior players wanted to talk about Chand being kicked out of the close camp with Almutairi. Almutairi, on the other hand, had ordered all senior players who were trying to talk to Rohit to leave the closed training. After repeatedly refusing to communicate with Almutairi, the players left the hotel late Tuesday night.
Karma Tshering Sherpa, the president of the ANFA, met with the players to discuss how to resolve the dispute between the players and the coaches. Disgruntled players have stated that dismissing the coach is the only way to solve the problem.
The national team is currently in closed camp in preparations for the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers which will be held in June. After 10 players are expelled from the camp, Almutairi has called up 14 more players including players from the B Division and C Division leagues in their places.
