India's hockey coach Terry Walsh today quit from his position after his contractual talks with Hockey India and the Sports Authority of India (SAI) broke down. However, a fresh proposal is still being worked out for the Australian's consideration. Walsh, whose contract was to come to an end tomorrow, had already submitted his resignation last month after his demands for a greater say in team decisions and hand-picked support staff were turned down by Hockey India and Sports Authority of India. Walsh had been negotiating to stay on board and met Sports Minister Sarbananda Sonowal this morning but the talks ended inconclusively. This prompted the 60-year-old to head back to Australia without withdrawing his resignation. However, a fresh proposal will be sent to him in the next couple of days for his consideration, leaving the door still open for his return to India. Walsh, who was present at a press conference, said that he was still optimistic about coaching the Indian team and that the fresh proposal would address all his demands.
