Two days after he was recalled from a camp in Europe citing 'misconduct', the Indian women's football U-17 assistant coach Alex Ambrose has been sacked by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) for sexual misconduct.

A member of Committee of Administrators (CoA), which currently runs AIFF, Dr. SY Quraishi announced the same via his twitter account.

"Alex Ambrose, Asst Head Coach of Under 17 Women's team has been sacked for sexual misconduct. Further action under process," he tweeted.


AIFF had earlier stated it has zero-tolerance policy on indiscipline when the news of Ambrose's misconduct broke out on 30th July.

"An event of misconduct has been reported in the U17 women's team currently on an exposure tour to Europe. The AIFF follows a zero-tolerance policy on indiscipline. As an initial action, the Federation has provisionally suspended the individual pending further investigation. The AIFF has asked the concerned individual to stop all contact with the team, return to India immediately, and be physically present for further investigations upon his arrival," AIFF had then said in a statement.
