Former Cheetahs player Sino Ganto has been appointed head coach and director of the Pakistan Sevens team. He will lead the side at next month’s Asia Rugby Trophy in Indonesia.
Rugby is gaining momentum in Pakistan and Ganto was hired to help grow the sport after he impressed the unions during his interview.
The Alice, Eastern Cape, native cut his teeth in coaching by serving as a backline and skills coach for the Cheetahs. He also held coaching clinics in Kenya and has done skills sessions with players like Springboks' RaymondThe appointment as head coach of the Pakistan Sevens team will allow him to grow as a coach and increase his experience. Though he’s there to share his knowledge of the game, he’s seeing this step as a learning process.
It’s about me getting to learn more, you’re always learning especially where rugby is not in high standards as we have in SA. There’s so much learning, even though you’ve come to teach. Preparations are well under way for the Asia Rugby Trophy, which will take place from August 5-6. With many of his players having full-time jobs, Ganto makes the most of the time they have on the field, even doing double sessions.
