The hunt for a national hockey team chief coach is still on and the race for the coveted position is becoming interesting day by day as K K Poonacha, former India international and junior team coach, has become the fourth Indian to enter the fray. According to sources in the Oman Hockey Association (OHA), Poonacha applied for the post on September 7.
Poonacha joins V Baskaran, Prem Shankar Shukla and Pradeep Xalxo in the competition, the winner of which is likely to be finalised before the end of the year.

Poonacha, 41, had represented the country in the 1994 Sydney World Cup, in which India finished fifth. He has loads of experience both as a player and as a hockey guru. Having served in the Indian Army for 18 years, his resume boasts of his being an excellent communicator, disciplinarian and a proven team player, qualities that certainly make him one of the top contenders for the job.
