Indian table tennis will soon have the services of a full-time foreign coach each for senior and junior teams, an unprecedented move aiming to build on the historic gains made this year. The junior head coach will be appointed by next month while senior coach Massimo Costantini's replacement will be named by December. Till now, senior head coach was travelling with the juniors for important events like the Youth Olympics, putting additional burden on him. "Now, the junior head coach will be based out of India for the term of his contract. That is why we felt the need of a full-time junior coach," added secretary Singh.
