Yadav quitting the post was not unexpected as Sunando Dhar was named deputy secretary general after Kalyan Chaubey took charge as the new AIFF president.

Dhar was earlier the I-League CEO and later became acting general secretary following Kushal Das’s resignation in the wake of the ouster of Praful Patel as AIFF president by the Supreme Court.

Yadav played 30-odd matches for India from 2002 to 2011. He was a one-time team-mate of the likes of Bhaichung Bhutia, Sunil Chhetri, Mahesh Gawli and Climax Lawrence.
