Japan coach Menezes in awe of Indian hockey’s ever-growing supply line

Ranchi, Jan 15 (PTI) He may have settled abroad more than 20 years ago but former India goalkeeper Jude Menezes keenly follows the progress of the sport back home and is in awe of the ever-growing supply line of Indian hockey.

The Mumbai-born Menezes is settled in New Zealand and was the assistant coach of the New Zealand women’s hockey team at the Tokyo Olympics.

He is currently the head coach of Japan women’s team which is competing at the FIH Olympic Qualifier here for a Paris Games ticket.

“Indian hockey has improved vastly under foreign coaches. There is no dearth of talent in India. The competition is huge. If one player misses out there are 10-15 others to replace him,” Menezes told
