Kalyan Chaubey News

It was also mentioned that the unidentified individual stated that Chaubey should be careful of his decisions and other actions.

Present in the meeting were AIFF Secretary General Dr Shaji Prabhakaran, Deputy Secretary General Sunando Dhar and senior officials from Gokulam Kerala FC, Mohammedan Sporting Club, Sreenidi Deccan FC, Churchill Brothers FC Goa, RoundGlass Punjab FC, Rajasthan United FC, NEROCA FC, Aizawl FC and TRAU FC.

After his retirement as a footballer, he had a brief modelling career. He then took over as the CEO of Mohun Bagan Academy from 2010 to 2013.

Kalyan Chaubey is a former goalkeeper with Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. This is a result that was expected as former captain Bhutia did not have many supporters in the 34-member voters' list made up of state association representatives.

While Bhutia's candidature has got the election more traction than it would have got if he was not in fray, Chaubey, also 45, is believed to be the front-runner for the top job with backing from politically important state associations like Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh

 The legendary Bhaichung Bhutia on Friday filed his nomination for the president's post in the upcoming All India Football Federation (AIFF) elections even as former player Kalyan Chaubey has emerged as the front runner in the race for the top job. Former captain Bhutia was proposed by his onetime national teammate Deepak Mondal and seconded by Madhu Kumari. Kumari is part of the electoral college as an 'eminent' player.
