The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has decided to hire a foreign coach for the national team. Roelant Oltmans of the Netherlands is the strong candidate for the position.
The decision was made after the PHF observed that the national team’s performance has been declining in recent years. The PHF believes that a foreign coach can help the team improve its performance and compete with the best teams in the world.
Oltmans is a former international hockey player who has coached several national teams, including the Netherlands, Belgium, and India. He is known for his modern coaching methods and his ability to get the best out of his players.
The PHF is also planning to set up a training camp for the national team in Islamabad from April 15. The camp will be in preparation for the Azlan Shah Hockey Tournament, which will be held in Malaysia from May 20 to 29.
PHF President Tariq Bugti said that the federation is committed to improving the performance of the national team. He said that the PHF is working on a long-term plan to make Pakistan one of the top six hockey teams in the world.
