  • The spat between Paul Van and Hockey India Chief Narinder Batra occurred when the Indian team won the QF against Malaysia in the World Hockey League Semifinals in Belgium in July.

    Batra reportedly encroached upon the coach's on-field authority when he gave a post-match talk to the team.

    Paul then, asked him to leave the field resulting in an ego clash between the two.

    Paul said that he was given the news via an email and is yet to receive an official confirmation from Hockey India (HI) or Sports Authority of India (SAI).

  • Most of Paul Van's predecessors left their jobs on an unceremonious note.

    Terry Walsh, the Australian who coached India and led the team to a gold at the Asian Games, was sacked just 47 days after the achievement. Paul was his replacement.

    The coaches before Walsh, Jose Brasa (2009-2011) and Michael Nobbs (2011-2013) too faced troubles with Hockey India before leaving the team.

  • The administrative intervention is nothing new in hockey and coaches before Paul too have faced it. Paul had always maintained that he would not hesitate to take on officials.

    Players suffer due to these fights between the administration and coaches.

    In the end, the team gets affected by having to adapt to change in style of play each time a new coach comes along.
