New Delhi, March 7 (TNS): The experienced Oltmans was at the helm of Indian hockey for four years from 2013, initially as a high performance director before he took over as chief coach from compatriot Paul van Ass in 2015, Indian media reported on Wednesday.
Oltmans was sacked from his role last September.
“Today I can confirm an Agreement with PHF for a role as Chief Coach for the next 2 1/2 Years,” Oltmans tweeted.
Oltmans’ major assignments with Pakistan this year will be the Commonwealth Games in April and the World Cup in December.
Pakistan, three-times Olympic champions and four-times World Cup gold medallists, failed to qualify for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
They are currently ranked 13th in the world.
