Australian Hockey Great And Ex-India Coach Michael Nobbs Dies At 72

By IANS News January 29, 2026 • 19:02 PM View: 580

Los Angeles Olympic Games: Former Australian hockey star and an ex-coach of the Indian hockey team, Michael Nobbs, passed away on Thursday due to prolonged illness. He was 72.

Nobbs was appointed head coach of the Indian men’s team in 2011, a period when Indian hockey was going through a lean patch after failing to qualify for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Under his guidance, India showed promise in the Olympic qualifiers and earned a place at the 2012 London Games. However, the team finished last at the Olympics, a result that eventually led to his departure from the role.
