The former veteran said that he is currently focusing on strengthening football at the grassroots level with his own football school Baichung Bhutia School and United Sikkim Club. In future he will definitely consider AIFF President. Praful Patel, the current president of the AIFF, has been effectively commanding it since 2008 when the chief Priyaranjan Das Munshi fell ill. He was elected its president in 2012 and 2016, but due to the 'Sports Code', he would probably not be eligible to contest again.
