Things in Indian hockey are ever-changing. Although the players have remained without competition for over five months, they will now remain without performance director David John, who has resigned.

John has cited health and personal reasons to resign. He has written to both Hockey India and Sports Authority of India.

Hockey India has accepted his resignation and reiterated health as the official reason for his exit. However, SAI is yet to decide on the matter. SAI is also the official employer.

John’s contract had been renewed recently, following the Sports Ministry’s decision to extend all foreign coaches’ contracts till September 2021. John had joined in 2016. This was his second stint. He has been with the team as a physiologist in 2011-12.
