"We will meet Olympians and technical experts of the game to bring out a road-map for Indian hockey. In that very meeting, we will finalise the probables for national team's coach and then send the list to the Ministry," Ad-hoc committee convenor Mohd Aslam Khan said.
Las week, Khan met senior Sports Ministry and Indian Olympic Association officials to discuss various issues related to the game, including the selection of coach for the men's team.
"The meeting went off very well. We discussed all our plans, starting from shortlisting of probables for the coach to necessary equipments for the teams," Aslam had told PTI.
Aslam had also dismissed reports that Olympians Jagbir Singh and M K Kaushik, who is in charge of the women's team, were the front-runners to take over the coaching reigns of the men's team.
