Liu's three top charges, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin boycotted their China Open rounds in Chengdu, Southwest China in June, 2017 when Liu was removed from the coaching post.
All the three paddlers later apologized and each saw a 20,000 U.S. dollars fine for breaching the International Table Tennis Federation rules for their withdrawal.
Liu was appointed to coach the national men's team at the age of 27 in 2003 and then the position was passed to Qin Zhijian in April, 2017.
Under his reign, China, having won 28 out of 32 gold medals awarded since table tennis became an Olympic sport in 1988, extended their dominance for a decade by taking all 12 golds on offer across the last three Olympics.
