New Delhi: A day after India's hockey coach Paul van Ass claimed that he has been fired from the job, Hockey India (HI) president Narinder Batra on Tuesday hit back at the Dutchman, saying that he was not a ‘good coach’ and his fate would be decided by a special committee on Friday.
Batra confirmed that he had an altercation with a ‘rude’ van Ass after India's match against Malaysia in the World Hockey League semi-finals at Antwerp, Belgium, but he had never sacked him.
Van Ass had created a flutter on Monday by claiming that he has been fired by HI following his public altercation with Batra.
The HI president also said that a committee has been formed to decide on the fate of the coach and it will take a decision on Friday. He said he had no ego problem and if the committee felt the coach should continue, he would himself go to The Netherlands to bring him back.
Batra said that Van Ass realised that it would have been difficult for him to deliver the goods in India as the system here is different.
