Sequeira, widely regarded as Goa's best coach, died yesterday after suffering a massive heart attack at the Campal Sports ground. Sequeira, 48, who was attached with the Sports Authority of Goa (SAG), was primarily an athletics coach who'd been attached with Dempo for the past two years. Known to be a strict disciplinarian, the Mangalore-born Sequeira was training the state junior squad and had come to the Dempo Club House to pay his respects to Junior, said club coach Armando Colaco. While at the club he complained of giddiness and collapsed twice while entering the ground. Meanwhile, Colaco -- himself suffering from high blood pressure -- has been ordered bed rest after his pressure shot up in the fallout of Junior's death. ''In all the running around and activity I missed my medication a couple of times, which had led to this,'' Colaco told The Indian Express today. ''Ever since Junior's demise, I've overworked myself and the whole episode has resulted in quite a bit of anxiety...probabally that's the reason.'' Even as he appeared upbeat about his recovery, he excused himself from further conversation -- "I need the rest now" -- saying that on Wednesday Dempo get back to practice. This would be the first session after Sunday, December 5.
