Nobbs, whose contract officially ends at the end of this month, is leaving for Patiala's National Institute of Sports (NIS) on Friday.
Once there he will be conducting coaching classes for "students and hockey coaches".
"As per the contract we have to give him one month's time. So we are sending him to Patiala where he will teach the students and hockey coaches the finer aspects of the game. On 20th he will be given a send-off in Patiala by Hockey India," Thomson said.
The Australian's contract was prematurely terminated last week after a series of dismal performances over the last 12 months, including a last-place finish at the London Olympics last August.
