Ranjit Bajaj Declines AIFF Manager Role for U-15 World Cup

Minerva Academy owner Ranjit Bajaj has rejected his appointment as manager of the India U-15 football team for the upcoming FIFA U-15 World Cup in Azerbaijan.

Bajaj stated he was never consulted by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) before the public announcement and expressed concerns over the lack of professional planning.

The 47-year-old questioned the logic of pairing him with head coach Bibiano Fernandes and his existing support staff, noting that he had no prior working relationship with them.
