<p>Hours after Bhaichung announced his international retirement here yesterday, Dronacharya awardee coach Nayeemuddin accused him of rigging India's Asian Cup qualifiers match against Yemen in 2006 to discredit him.<br /><br />"It was a misunderstanding between me and Bhaichung and I had no personal enmity with him. I had committed a mistake. I am willing to speak to Bhaichung and may be say sorry to him," Nayeemuddin told PTI.<br /><br />The Dronacharya awardee coach said that he had wrongly thought that Bhaichung led a plot with other players to rig the match.<br /><br />"It was a mistake on my part to have thought that Bhaichung had a meeting with other players to do something against me during Asian Cup Qualifiers. I have come to know that it was a meeting to discuss formation of Football Players Association of India (of which Bhaichung is now president). I have been wrongly told by some people," said the former coach who was sacked after a string of poor performances by India in early 2006.<br />Bhaichung, on his part, played down the controversy, saying that he would accept Nayeemuddin's clarification and consider it a close chapter.<br /><br />"I am happy that Nayeemuddin has accepted that he has done some mistake and misunderstood me. Anybody can commit mistake and have misunderstanding with somebody. So I am OK with it. I have no personal enmity with him," said the former striker who had been the poster boy of Indian football for the major part of the last two decades.</p>
