New Delhi: Coach Emzarios Bentinidis, who will be returning to India as the coach of the Indian men's freestyle team, believes that Indian wrestlers are physically good but need to improve technically and tactically to achieve success on the world stage.

Bentinidis, who coached Bajrang Punia for four years, is excited to start working with the current wrestlers and hopes to chart a plan for the 2028 LA Olympics.

He wants to see more international sparring for wrestlers and shorter national camps, and has identified Sujeet Kalkal and Aman Sehrawat as wrestlers who have the potential to achieve great things with the right training and focus.

Bentinidis believes that discipline and a winning mentality are key to success, and that Indian wrestlers need to listen to their coaches and work hard to achieve their goals.
