Ayaz Mahmood named coach

Karachi: The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has appointed Olympian Ayaz Mahmood as the chief coach of the national team.

PHF President Qasim Zia informed reporters in Lahore that Mahmood, who represented Pakistan in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, would be the chief coach and would be assisted by 1994 World Cup winning team members Mohammad Shahbaz Jr. and Kamran Ashraf.

Zia also informed that PHF had entered into an agreement with Dutch trainer and coach Wouter Tazelaar, who will work as a consultant and help set up a hockey academy in the country.

Tazelaar would also assist the national team coaches if required, he added. Zia said appointment of the coaches was part of the rebuilding process taking place in Pakistan hockey after the dismal show in the Beijing Olympics.

The new coaching staff will prepare the national team for the planned Test series against India in January, he added. — PTI
