Athletics Federation of India (AFI) on Friday appointed the vastly experienced Radhakrishnan Nair as its full-time Chief Coach, filling the post left vacant after the resignation of Bahadur Singh in July. The 62-year-old Nair was the Acting Chief Coach of Indian Athletics since then.
AFI President Adille Sumariwalla expressed confidence that Nair would be able to guide Indian athletes to greater heights. “We are happy we will be able to maintain continuity of our planning since Radhakrishnan has been the Deputy Chief Coach for seven years now,” he said in an AFI release.
