Former India captain Bhaichung Bhutia has been appointed chairman of the All India Football Federation's technical committee. PTI quoting sources reports that the 36-year-old's appointment was finalised at the last executive committee meeting of the All India Football Federation.Bhutia retired from international football in 2011 following the national team's dismal showing in the Asian Cup in Doha, where it failed to win a single match. Otherwise he was the torchbearer of Indian football during a career spanning 16 years.Bhutia's appointment signals exit for former India international Mohammad Habib as head of the technical committee.Bhutia has scored an Indian record 42 goals from 107 appearances in the national jersey, but is on the verge of being overtaken by current skipper Sunil Chhetri, who is just two strikes behind his former captain.
