India women's hockey coach Janneke Schopman resigns

Hindustan Times  

India's women's hockey team coach Janneke Schopman has resigned from her position just days after hitting out at Hockey India for preferential treatment meted out to the men's national team. “I would like to inform that I am tendering my resignation as the chief coach of the senior women’s team by giving Hockey India and SAI one month notice as per my contract agreement. One of the big controversies during Schopman’s tenure was the omission of former captain Rani Rampal, under whom the team finished a historic fourth at the Paris Olympics. HI, in a statement, said, "on the back of the disappointment at Olympic qualifiers, Schopman’s resignation has paved the way for Hockey India to look for a suitable chief coach for the women’s hockey team who could prepare the team for the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Los Angeles Olympics."
