coaches are not miracle workers

The ad hoc committee erred in sacking the national coach Joachim Carvalho (a scapegoat called the coach, maxsport, September 28). A coach should be appointed for a tenure of at least 5 years. No coach can produce miracles within a short period and the team will have ups and downs but, invariably in Indian hockey, it is the coach who is the first to be shown the door. Carvalho should have been persisted with since he was shaping up well as a tactician and disciplinarian.
