The appointments for the men’s team have generally been swift but given the travel restrictions due to the pandemic, it isn’t clear when Ciriello and Macdonald’s replacements would be appointed and join the team. It took more than a year for women’s team coach Sjoerd Marijne to get an assistant after Erik Wonkink, now with the junior girls, left. The appointment of the full-time coaching staff is generally a long-drawn process, which requires clearances from the Sports Authority of India. “The videos will be sent back to them and they will take it up with the players one-on-one or in groups through online meetings each week,” an official said. Lomans and Van de Pol are expected to provide a weekly schedule to Reid, who will execute their plans and film their training on the ground. He had a short seven-day stint with the Indian goalkeepers last year as well. Van de Pol, meanwhile, will be the goalkeeping coach. He will take over the responsibility from Ciriello, who was also responsible to monitor the penalty corner specialists apart from being the analytical coach. Two-time Olympic gold medalist and World Cup winner Lomans, who has worked with Reid when the Australian was the coach of Amsterdam hockey club, will coach the drag-flickers.
