National football coach Bob Houghton's alleged racial abuse of an Indian referee is likely to kick up a "storm" at the Annual General Meeting (AGM)of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) next month.
"The issue will create a storm at the AGM, but before that the executive committee will deal with the matter," an AIFF source told IANS.
However, with the Asian Cup in Doha in January, the Englishman is likely to be let off with a mild rap on his knuckles.
"Houghton is lucky, in view of the upcoming Asian Cup, he will get away with a mere warning. The British coach's future will, however, hinge on the team's performance in the tournament," the source said.
