South Africa’s Craig Fulton is new chief coach of Indian men’s hockey team
India on Friday named South Africa’s Craig Fulton as the new chief coach of the men’s national hockey team that finished a disappointing ninth in the World Cup at home.
Fulton, who has nearly 25 years of coaching experience, replaces Australian Graham Reid, who quit after India’s dismal show in the World Cup.
Not just Reid, the team’s analytical coach Greg Clark and scientific advisor Mitchell Pemberton had also tendered their resignations. Reid, though, had guided the Indian team to a historic bronze medal-winning show at the Tokyo Olympics. Fulton said he would strive to take Indian hockey to the next level.
