BAM commends fruitful services of Rexy Mainaky for the country – Badminton News
Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) commended national coach Rexy Mainaky’s services for country as he called it time and finished his seven year long association with them.
Although, Rexy was supposed to work as coach until next June but last month he informed the officials about his decision. He will now watch steps of Philippines shuttlers and guide them in their race for glory.
Surprisingly, this time BAM did not force him to reconsider his decision and accepted his resignation immediately.
However, BAM secretary Ng Chin Chai praised Rexy Mainaky for his sincere involvement and devotion for the national shuttlers when he officially announced that BAM has decided to let him go for better future.
The badminton guru Rexy Mainaky, who also ruled the courts as World and Olympic champion in his era, took charge of Women’s Doubles teams Woon Khe Wei-Vivian Hoo and Chin Eei h*i-Wong Pei Tty also and helped them to elevate their badminton craft.
Chin Chai, who is also a member of the high performance team admitted that under his directions not only the female duo Eei h*i-Pei Tty showed improvement but the coaches also felt commendable progress in their coaching skills.
He said, “Rexy has done well to groom the coaches and the responsibility will now be on Jeremy Gan and Chong Kien Ling to take care of Eei h*i and Pei Tty and the other women shuttlers.”
Men’s Doubles experts Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong rose to new heights under the supervision of Rexy and became first Malaysian couple after 36 years to clinch a gold medal in Asian Games 2006 before bringing home the All-England crown in 2007.
The Coaching and Training committee chairman Chin Chai also told that the committee that they will have a look at available options for replacement in their April 26-27 meetings. The committee will be looking to find a replacement as soon as possible so
that there is no disruption in the training schedule for the players.
There is also possibility of a foreign coach as after Rexy’s departure Hendrawan is the only highly qualified foreigner coach in the country.
