The Table Tennis Federation of India in October 2011 appointed Poland’s Leszek Kucharski as the Indian TT coach on a one-year contract. Kucharski is to take over in December 2011 at a salary of $6,000 per month including free accommodation and internal travel expenses.
Kucharski had reached No 11 in rankings as a player and has had a successful career as coach in his country. Those in the running were Kucharski, Michael Hajek of the Czech Republic and 1988 Seoul Olympics bronze medallist Erik Lindh of Sweden.
The 53-year-old Pole finished his international career in the beginning of 1990s and served the Polish Table Tennis Federation (PTTA) in various capacities from 1994 to 2009, including as head coach of the men's and women's national teams.
Italian Massimo Constantini was India’s TT coach before Kucharski and his contract expired after the Guangzhou Asian Games in 2010.
