In a surprising development from the Puneri Paltan camp, head coach BC Ramesh has stepped away from his role in Pro Kabaddi League 2024. 24 hours after suffering a big defeat against arch-rivals U Mumba in front of their home fans at the Balewadi Sports Complex, Puneri Paltan have moved their coach to a new position.

As per an Instagram post shared by Pune, BC Ramesh will no longer be the head coach of the franchise. Instead, he will be a part of the advisory team. It is unclear what Ramesh's exact role will be, but the franchise's Instagram caption states that "his insights will fuel our ambitions."

Here's what Puneri Paltan posted on Instagram:

"Our coach, @bc_ramesh_kabaddi_official , steps into a new role. He will now be part of the advisory team, where his insights will continue to fuel our ambitions."

Puneri Paltan are the defending champions of PKL. Many fans expected them to start the Pune leg on a winning note in the Maha derby, but they ended up losing by a colossal margin of 29-43 at the hands of U Mumba.

How did Puneri Paltan perform in Pro Kabaddi 2024 under the guidance of BC Ramesh?

Puneri Paltan retained BC Ramesh as their head coach after he led the franchise to their first championship in season 10. However, after 16 games in season 11, Ramesh has stepped away from his role.

Under Ramesh's coaching, Puneri Paltan won seven out of their 16 league games. The defending champions hold the seventh position in the standings, and if they perform well in the upcoming matches, they can easily qualify for the playoffs.

With six more matches to go, Pune's fans await the announcement of their new head coach. The defending champions will play their next match against UP Yoddhas on December 7.
