Hockey India CEO Elena Norman Resigns After Coach Janneke Schopman's Resignation

Fresh turmoil hit Hockey India on Tuesday when its long-serving CEO Elena Norman resigned from her position owing to non-payment of dues for the past few months, sources in the national federation told PTI.

The Australian held the -post for nearly 13 years and had not been paid for the last three months.

Norman’s resignation comes days after the chief coach of the Indian women’s hockey team Janneke Schopman who claimed that she was not valued and respected by the national federation.

Norman’s resignation is another setback for the body, which did not give the exact reason for her departure in the official statement. However, a top source said Norman was upset about “non-payment of her dues for the last three months.” “She was also unhappy with the work environment,” the source added.
