Gold medallist Nova Peris believes the Hockeyroos<\/a>' coaching line up is at a crossroads following the side's shock quarter-finals exit at Paris 2024.<\/p>\n

A former teammate of Peris', Katrina Powell, has led the Hockeyroos since March 2021.<\/p>\n

When she was appointed, \ufeffPowell became the first female to serve as the Hockeyroos' head coach in 43 years.<\/p>\n

Powell's tenure has been spotlighted because of the success of ex-Hockeyroo and fellow international coach Alyson Annan, who is currently in charge of China's national team.<\/p>\n

Annan helped China to progress to the gold-medal match following a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Belgium on Thursday (AEST).<\/p>\n

China \ufefffinished fourth in Pool A with only two wins. However, the side went on to dismantle Australia in their quarter-final meeting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Annan previously coached the Netherlands but split from the team early in 2022.<\/p>\n

Under her guidance, the Oranje Women were crowned Olympic Champions, two-time World Champions and three-time European Championships.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Stan Sport's Olympics Daily<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> Peris reflected on China's breakthrough Olympic campaign with Annan at the helm.<\/p>\n

"Alyson Annan came into the Olympics and said China could win a medal," Peris said.<\/p>\n

"So, if Alyson Annan says it, [it must be true].<\/p>\n

"She's a four-time Olympian, a two-time Olympic gold medallist, she took the Netherlands to a golden era, and now she has taken on the China team.<\/p>\n

\"Parker's<\/p>\n

"She is my countrywoman, a fellow Hockeyroo, but do you know what? In life, you should be pleased for people who can achieve great things, and look what she has done.<\/p>\n

"They finished fourth in their pool and now they're going for gold \u2014 and they have the inside knowledge on the Dutch with Alyson knowing how the team works."<\/p>\n

Asked if the Aussies had "\ufeffmissed a trick" and should pursue Annan for the top job, Peris said the situation was something to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n

\u200b"I feel for Australia in many ways and Trinny (Katrina Powell) has been formidable since she took the reins a couple of months out from the Tokyo Olympics," she said.<\/p>\n

"They were coachless for a while and then Trinny took them on. She did well, they won a World Cup bronze medal under her.<\/p>\n

"But I have heard that Alyson has yearned to come back to Australia over the years but now she's coaching China now, so we'll have to wait and see what happens."<\/p>\n

China will take on\ufeff the Netherlands in the Olympic final on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
