Whats Happening After Tamil Thalaivas Sack Head Coach Sanjeev Baliyan?

Tamil Thalaivas have terminated head coach Sanjeev Baliyan’s contract following a disappointing Pro Kabaddi 2025 season where the team failed to finish in the top 8. Fans mocked the decision, calling the team fit for Bigg Boss, while Baliyan revealed that team selection wasn’t in his control, sparking controversy over management interference.

For the Tamil Thalaivas, the end of the Pro Kabaddi League 2025 season brought a major shake-up as the franchise announced the immediate termination of Head Coach Sanjeev Baliyan’s contract. The decision came after a disappointing campaign in which the team failed to finish inside the top eight despite having several big names in their squad. Fans expressed frustration on social media, mocking the team’s management for frequently sacking coaches without achieving success.

Some supporters called the team “fit for Bigg Boss,” while others criticized the management for interfering in coaching decisions and lacking long-term vision. The controversy deepened after Baliyan’s comments about limited control over team selection. He revealed that the coach and captain had no authority to decide the playing seven, as those decisions were made by the team’s analyst and management.

His statement drew sympathy from fans who accused the club of disrespecting a seasoned coach and mismanaging its structure. Over the last five years, Tamil Thalaivas have changed multiple coaches but failed to find consistent success. As the franchise looks for a new head coach, the spotlight remains on whether they will finally allow coaching independence to build a competitive side for the next PKL season.
