Zhang Xiaohuan retired right after the 2009 World Aquatics Championships, and immediately became one of the two head coaches of the Chinese national team.[3] She and fellow rookie coach Wang Na guided Team China to three golds at the 2010 Asian Games.[4] In 2011, she and Masayo Imura (who replaced Wang Na) took Team China to new heights at the 2011 World Aquatics Championships.[5] She left her coaching position in 2012 or 2013, probably due to her pregnancy.[6]
