One of the names currently linked to that plan is Indonesian men’s singles assistant coach Harry Hartono. He did not rule out, though, that an Indonesian coach could be on the shortlist. Harry recently returned to the Badminton Association of Indonesia (PBSI) as an assistant coach for the men’s singles squad, replacing Marleve Mainaky. If BAM secure Harry’s services, he would join the existing Indonesian coaches in Malaysia, including Rexy Mainaky (doubles coaching director), Herry Iman Pierngadi, Muhammad Miftakh (men’s doubles) and Nova Widianto (mixed doubles). Previously, several local coaches, including Yeoh Kay Bin and Mohd Zakry Latif, were linked to BAM’s new coaching structure.
