Patna Pirates Appoint Jasveer Singh as New Head Coach

Patna Pirates confirmed Jasveer Singh as their new head coach following their exit in the third Eliminator of Pro Kabaddi 2025. Jasveer, who previously led UP Yoddhas, had resigned after admitting responsibility for their poor season despite retaining the same squad. The Pirates now look to begin a fresh chapter under his leadership after a dramatic comeback run in PKL 2025.

During the Pro Kabaddi 2025 aftermath, Patna Pirates confirmed a significant change in their leadership by appointing Jasveer Singh as their new Head Coach. The announcement came shortly after the team’s narrow exit in the third Eliminator, where Patna fell short despite staging a spirited comeback during the tournament. The franchise shared the update by stating that Jasveer would be leading the Pirates into a new era, signalling a strategic reset ahead of the next season.

Jasveer’s appointment comes after his resignation from UP Yoddhas earlier in the campaign. Reflecting on his departure, he admitted that when a team underperforms, responsibility cannot rest solely on the players. He explained that even though the squad and coaching setup had remained largely unchanged from the previous season, performances had dipped, prompting him to accept accountability and step down from his role. Patna Pirates, known for their fighting spirit, revived their season with a remarkable late surge that helped them reach the playoffs.

Although the comeback fell short in the Eliminator, the management appears determined to build on that momentum with a fresh coaching vision under Jasveer. The franchise hopes this new leadership will restore consistency and push the team deeper into the competition next season.
