The Pakistan Squash Federation (PSF) has decided to replace Jansher Khan as its head coach with Jamshed Gul.
While there was no official announcement on the development, it has been learnt that the PSF has asked Gul to start his stint immediately. Jansher, who has a record eight World Open titles to his name, was appointed early last year. However, the squash maestro, who is reportedly suffering from Parkinson’s disease, has remained away from the position for over six months.
Meanwhile, Gul has been training in Malaysia for five years and several players made significant progress in the world rankings under him, persuading the PSF to make the switch.
“Gul is a qualified coach,” a PSF official told The Express Tribune. “More importantly, he’s well aware of modern techniques and that made him our first choice. He’ll work with the youngsters and we’re hopeful of getting the desired results.”
