Indian Hockey coach Terry Walsh resigns

New Delhi, Nov 19 (ANI): India's chief Hockey coach Terry Walsh quit from his position after his contractual talks with Hockey India (HI) and the Sports Authority of India (SAI) broke down. But a fresh proposal is still being worked out for the Australian's consideration. Walsh, whose contract was to come to an end on Wednesday (November 19), had already submitted his resignation last month after his demands for a greater say in team decisions and hand-picked support staff were turned down by HI and SAI. However, a fresh proposal will be sent to him in the next couple of days for his consideration, leaving the door still open for his return to India. Walsh said it was a difficult decision for him adding that the team is working hard for the upcoming tournaments, including the Olympics. Nov 19, 2014
