PR Sreejesh, a renowned Indian hockey player, was coaching the junior men's team with consistent success.
PR Sreejesh, Indian hockey icon, has publicly questioned Hockey India over its preference for foreign coaches after his abrupt removal as junior men’s coach despite consistent team success.
Sreejesh, in a social media post, stated he was stunned by the decision, highlighting the team’s five podium finishes under his leadership, including a Junior World Cup bronze. He alleged the move was to accommodate a foreign coach, prompting his question: “Can’t Indian coaches develop Indian hockey?”
Contrasting this with earlier encouragement from Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya to take on larger coaching roles for the 2036 Olympics, Sreejesh criticized Hockey India’s reliance on foreign coaches across all teams.
Hockey India responded, denying they ‘fired’ Sreejesh, though details of the decision remain unclear. The controversy sparks debate over the development of Indian coaching talent versus the perceived benefits of foreign expertise.
