PR Sreejesh, a celebrated Indian hockey goalkeeper, has been appointed as the new head coach of the junior men's hockey team following his retirement after leading India to a bronze medal at the 2024 Olympics. Hockey India plans to bolster the coaching staff by potentially including former players Birendra Lakra and SV Sunil. The iconic Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium in Delhi will host a two-match Test series against Germany in October, marking a return of international hockey to the venue after a decade. Sreejesh, who has been a pivotal figure in Indian hockey with back-to-back Olympic bronze medals, aims to develop young talent, inspired by cricket coach Rahul Dravid's approach. His long-term vision includes preparing junior players for future senior competitions and possibly becoming the head coach for the Indian team by the time of the 2036 Olympics. The announcement of Sreejesh's new role has been met with enthusiasm, highlighting his legacy and potential influence on the next generation of hockey players.
