Under-fire India football head coach Manolo Marquez stepped down on Wednesday after reaching a “mutual agreement” with the All Indian Football Federation (AIFF) following a string of poor performances by the national team.

The AIFF Executive Committee, in its meeting here, agreed to relieve Marquez after he expressed his desire to do so despite one year still left in his contract.

“The AIFF and Manolo decided to mutually part ways without any financial implications to any of the two parties. So, he is relieved from being India coach. The AIFF   will shortly advertise for the post of head coach,” AIFF Deputy Secretary General K Satyanarayana told PTI.
