The coach apparently asks the goalkeeper, “Are you a woman?” How did you let him score? Then he asks another player, “How did you let the ball go?” You can’t play under even the slightest pressure. Then he kicks the other player and says, “Why didn’t you talk?” According to reports, the incident took place at a government-aided school near Mettur in Tamil Nadu’s Salem district.
The video went viral on social media
People got enraged after watching the viral video and many demanded strict action against the coach. One former user wrote, 'He should be behind bars.' Another said, 'Unfortunately, this is not the first time brother. I still see youth coaches cursing their players after a defeat or poor performance. Even in the days when I used to play for my school team, my coach used to humiliate each one of us after losing tournaments. It still hurts to see this.
Meanwhile, a senior official from the district education department told the outlet, “We have suspended the teacher and will conduct a thorough investigation.”
