Former national coach and present coach of Laren, Roelant Oltmans was the last days in Malaysia to think about the hockey future of that nation.
On request of the new technical manager of the MHF Oltmans connected himself to a think tank, which should bring Malaysia back to the Olympic level. Although Oltmans had all the chances to give his business card, he estimates his future still with Hockey Club Laren.
The Malaysian newspapers were however very busy by speculating.Oltmans supposed to be in Kuala Lumpur to sign his contract as national coach. But that wasn’t the case.
I have done several suggestions. Above all my name is mentioned, but also of many other national coaches, Oltmans said.
Besides his job at Laren Oltmans has a part-time position at the NOC/NSF, the Dutch National Olympic Council.
"Unless Malaysia comes with a real unbelievable super offer, then I would not say no on forehand”
Then you think about it, but as the cards are right now, I stay in the Netherlands. I like it here in the Netherlands.
The MHF has their next meeting scheduled on 13th of December.
Then things are clearer about the national coach.
