Panaji: Churchill Brothers Technical Director Subhash Bhowmick, who was not happy with the club management interfering with the team's affairs, has stepped down from his post. He finally sent his resignation letter to the club boss Churchill Alemao on Tuesday. It is learnt that Bhowmick, who guided Churchill Brothers successfully to win the I-League crown for the second time, had alleged differences with Alemao during the I-League matches.

Bhowmick is the second coach whose contract is not renewed after Churchill Brothers won the I-League title.
