This was the most awaited annoucement with regards to Indian Men's Hockey. For over 8 months, the news has been going around for Jose Brasa, the coach for 1992 Gold Medalist Spain's Womens' Hockey team, becoming Indian Men's Hockey coach.
Finally, yesterday, he has signed a contract with Sports Authority of India and has been appointed as the 'Chief Coach' of Indian Hockey (Men).
I am extremely positive that his contractual entry into our Hockey, will have an tremendous positive on the the entire sport.
I am wondering, how difficult it will be for the 57 year old and how will he sustain the Indian style of functioning! :)
One thing is for sure, first time, we have an international coach, who has coached a team to Gold medal in Olympics, in the contemporary times! (read it as, 17 years back)
Welcome, Mr. Brasa! I am positive that you will give a wonderful forward kick to this whole system.
