Ahead of Asia Cup 2009 hockey tournament, Indian Hockey Federation (IHF) has appointed Jose Brasa as the permanent coach of Indian men’s hockey team. Brasa has good coaching record as the Spaniard guided Spanish women’s hockey team to win the gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. After the resignation of Joaquim Carvalho last March as Indian hockey team coach, IHF appointed Australia’s Ric Charlesworth as the technical advisor. However, Charlesworth also left the job following a rift with hockey federation officials and sports ministry. Then Harendra Singh took over as stand-in coach and guided India to reach the final of Punjab Gold Cup and win the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup hockey tournament in Malaysia recently.
The first assignment for Jose Brasa would be the upcoming Asia Cup 2009 which kicks off from May 6 in Kuantan, Malaysia. India hockey team has shown enough improvement on the field after a disappointing 2008 during which India failed to qualify for the Beijing Olympic Games for the first time in 80 years. It was really something disgraceful for a country which has 8 Olympic Gold medals in men’s hockey.
Jose Brasa has been appointed till 2010 Asian Games. Next year, India will host the Hockey World Cup and it would be a great chance for Indian hockey team to win the world cup title in what would be a revival for Indian hockey.
