SYDNEY: Graham Reid has replaced Ric Charles­worth as coach of the world champions Aus­tr­alia men’s field hockey team, Hockey Australia (HA) said on Thursday.

Reid, 50, has been an assistant coach with the Kookaburras since 2009 and took joint charge of the team at the Commonwealth Games following Charlesworth’s decision to step down.

“Graham Reid was the unanimous choice of the coaching panel in what was a very difficult decision,” HA chief executive Cam Vale said.
