Sreejesh Not Fired, His Term Is Over: HI Responds To Explosive Remarks By Outgoing Junior Men’s Coach (Ld)
Junior World Cup: After P.R. Sreejesh’s allegations about him being removed from the Indian junior men’s hockey coaching setup, Hockey India on Wednesday issued a detailed clarification, asserting that the former goalkeeper’s coaching tenure had concluded “as per contract” and denying claims that he was removed to accommodate a foreign coach.
The federation’s response came shortly after Sreejesh publicly expressed disappointment over what he described as the possible end of his coaching career, questioning Hockey India’s continued reliance on overseas coaches despite the availability of experienced Indian candidates.
In an official statement, Hockey India said, “Hockey India would like to state that the coaching term for P.R. Sreejesh was officially concluded as per contract in December 2025. After this, as per protocol, the position was advertised, and applicants were shortlisted and finalised as per a proper selection process based on merit. A coach with distinguished qualifications has been selected as a result of this process and will be announced shortly.”
