I Keep Telling Myself, 'Sreejesh You're No Longer A Player'
Just after clinching his second consecutive Olympic bronze medal in Paris, Sreejesh took charge of the junior men's team with the prestigious Sultan of Johor Cup being his first coaching assignment. Under his guidance, the Indian team bagged a bronze medal after beating New Zealand in a thrilling shootout. The veteran player bettered the colour of the medal in the next assignment - Men's Junior Asia Cup 2024 - earlier this month as Sreejesh's boys defeated arch-rivals Pakistan in the final to clinch their fifth title.
"See, it's a great experience for me. As a coach, first tournament we finished on the podium. That was fantastic for me. That tournament was fantastic because we learned about everything. The first thing is that with one goal difference, we missed a spot in the finals. Second thing is we drew a match and we won a shootout. We got two cards at a time. I think we lost a match. And I think that was a fantastic tournament to learn," Sreejesh told IANS.
