KARACHI:


Recently appointed coach of the national senior hockey team Olympian Qamar Ibrahim announced his resignation after citing personal commitments, although a source close to the matter revealed it was due to a conflict with the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF).


According to the source, Ibrahim made the decision after being demoted to the post of coach from head coach, which was then assigned to Olympian Abdul Hanif Khan, who is also manager of the senior side.

“I have decided to leave this post for someone who can stay with the team throughout the training camp as I will have to travel frequently due to personal commitments,” Ibrahim told The Express Tribune.


However, the source claimed, “The resignation was the result of the demotion of Ibrahim’s post which offended him.”
