After an impactful tenure, Danny Kerry has announced that he will no longer be taking on the role of performance director for England and Great Britain Hockey due to personal reasons. The 53-year-old, who has had an illustrious coaching career, was appointed to the position in June but has now decided to step away. Kerry's coaching legacy is marked by significant achievements, having previously led both the men's and women's teams of England and Great Britain. One of the standout moments under his guidance was the triumph of Great Britain's women's team at the 2016 Rio Olympics, where they clinched the gold medal. Additionally, Kerry also steered the women's team to a bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympics. His influence extended to the men's side as well, as Kerry took charge of the England and Great Britain men's team from September 2018 until January 2022, leaving a lasting impact on both squads. In response to Kerry's decision, a statement from GB Hockey expressed best wishes for his future endeavors, acknowledging his contributions to the sport. The organization emphasized that the primary focus remains on preparing both the men's and women's Great Britain teams for the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics. Looking ahead, details regarding the recruitment process for Kerry's successor will be disclosed following the conclusion of the Paris Olympics. As the sport braces for this transition, the immediate priority lies with the upcoming Olympic matches. Great Britain's men's team is set to kick off their Olympic campaign against Spain on Saturday at 09:00 BST, while the women's team will face the same opponents on Sunday at 12:15. As the teams gear up for these crucial matches, the news of Kerry's departure adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing narrative of British hockey. With Kerry's departure, the sport bids farewell to a seasoned coach whose impact on England and Great Britain hockey will be remembered for years to come. As the hockey community navigates this change, the focus remains steadfast on the journey towards Paris 2024 and the pursuit of Olympic success.
