ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) will be appointing an Australian coach for the national team in a week.
Talking to APP, a PHF official dismissed all reports for considering former German captain Christine Blunck for the job.
Responding to a question, he said local Pakistani coaches including Farhat Khan, Khawaja Junaid, Shahnaz Sheikh etc. have been tested time and again, therefore, PHF is trying to rope in a foreigner.
“We need to catch up with the modern international standards of hockey and a foreign coach can let us achieve that goal,” he said.
