Who is currently the coach of the Indian men’s national hockey team?

The Indian men’s national hockey team made history today, reaching the semifinals of the Olympic Games for the first time in 49 years. Manpreet Singh led Great Britain 3-1 in the quarterfinals to qualify for the final four of the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

While India is slowly reclaiming its lost glory in the sport back, do you know under whose guidance is the team doing it?

Yes, surely the players deserve all the credit for their historic performance in Tokyo, but the role of a coach should definitely not be ignored.
