Former Indian hockey player and Dronacharya awardee Harendra Singh has been appointed as the coach of the senior national women’s hockey team by Hockey India.
Harendra Singh's appointment comes after the resignation of Janneke Schopman, a former Dutch hockey player, who stepped down as the coach of the national women's team following India's failure to qualify for the Paris Olympics 2024.
Despite the absence of a formal announcement from Hockey India due to the model code of conduct in force, Harendra Singh's tenure as the national women's hockey coach is expected to extend until the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, according to reports.
