From Ric Charlesworth to Roelant Oltmans, most of India's foreign hockey coaches had a tumultuous ride and the newly-appointed chief coach Graham Reid's biggest desire is to have a "stable environment" for himself as well as his players.
"What I want is a stable environment for me as well as the players," Reid told PTI during an exclusive interview from Amsterdam.
In fact, it was the legendary Charlesworth, who goaded him to apply for the India coach's job.
"I had a very long discussion with Ric and he thought it was good time for me to move to India. He feels I have the experience at international level to take Indian hockey forward."
