During his time as a High Performance Director in India, Oltmans strengthened the grassroot level besides working with all the national teams, be it junior or senior, men or women.
Harendra was associated with the senior men's team as national coach from 2009 to 2011.
Taking a cue from the BCCI, the HI advertised for the position for the first time in its website.
The Dutchman said he has no regrets about Hockey India's decision, he believes he has made a good roadmap for the team to follow in the future.
Oltmans had joined the Indian team as High-Performance Director in January 2013 and took over as coach in July 2015 after the ouster of Paul Van Ass.
The 63-year old Oltmans became the head coach of India men's hockey team after Paul Van Ass left controversially in 2015.
In contrast, 2016 has been a landmark year when the men's team won its maiden Champions Trophy silver medal, which propelled them to No. 5 in the FIH rankings - India's best standing since 2004.
