NEW DELHI, Nov 28:
Former high-performance director of Indian boxing Santiago Nieva has returned to the national setup as the head coach of the women’s team.
The Argentine-born Swede, who worked extensively with India’s men’s squad from 2017 to 2022, oversaw several landmark achievements during his previous tenure, including India’s highest-ever participation at the Tokyo Olympics and two historic medals at the 2019 Men’s World Championships.
“Super excited to come back to India. I had five wonderful years here in my previous stint. I am very much looking forward to this next chapter, and hopefully, we can create something big together,” Nieva said.
Nieva brings over two decades of elite international coaching experience, having held some of the most influential high-performance roles in world boxing.
Following his earlier stint with India, he most recently served as National Head Coach and Technical Lead of Boxing Australia’s High Performance Unit. (PTI)
