Sorry to say, but I totally disagree with the statement of Salman Akbar. The Pakistan Hockey Federation also gave many chances to Tahir Zaman, but the history of Tahir Zaman is the same. He always talks about professionalism but fails to deliver. In his last assignment, he totally mishandled the situation and created history when players pulled out of playing the World Cup Qualifier under the management of Tahir Zaman
Former Pakistan goalkeeper Salman Akbar: "Given the opportunities he has had and his coaching achievements, Khawaja Junaid is nowhere close to the ability of Tahir Zaman. This appointment was just a quick fix because management needed someone in place. In my view, if he is allowed to continue โ with two legs of the Pro League still remaining โ results will never improve. Iโm not saying a new coach would guarantee success, but bringing back Tahir Zaman as head coach after resolving issues would be better. I believe that even after taking such big steps, if we keep making decisions like continuing with Junaid, we will only see a decline rather than growth."
