Boxing Federation of India Seeks New Coach

The Boxing Federation of India (BFI) has initiated a search for a new foreign coach following a disappointing performance by Indian boxers at the Paris Olympics, where they failed to secure any medals. Despite the presence of world champions Nikhat Zareen and Lovlina Borgohain, the team of six returned empty-handed, contrasting with India's bronze medal achievement in the Tokyo Olympics. The BFI's advertisement outlines a four-year term for the new coach, emphasizing the need for elite qualifications and a proven track record in high-performance coaching. Current coach Dmitry Dmitruk will remain until his contract concludes, and the BFI aims to improve results in future competitions such as the Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games. The federation has also noted recent personnel changes, including several coaching departures since the last Olympics, which may impact future strategies.
