LAHORE, April 26: Former chief selector of Pakistan Football Federation (PFF), Mohammad Younus Changezi, has levelled serious allegations against managements of national senior and U-14 team that forced him to resign.

A copy of his resignation was obtained by Dawn in which the former chief selector stated:

"I am very sorry to say that I am being side tracked now. I foresee that I am being disgraced in two of the trials of the national senior team and U-14 team.

“I was not even informed about the trials which hurt me. When I asked about it I was told that it was with the consent of the PFF president. This even shocked me more.

"I understand that it has been done intentionally just to defame and disgrace me. I know that an outspoken person is never liked.

“Any way, I take respect above every thing. Losing life is better than losing respepct.”
