Tan Kim Her says he is “a bit surprised” at the BA of Malaysia’s (BAM) decision to appoint him as the head coach of the men’s doubles squad but is looking forward to the challenge.Following top elite pair Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong’s decision not to train under Rexy Mainaky anymore, BAM responded with a massive structural revamp.
The changes saw the elite and back-up doubles squads being merged into one, with Kim Her in the hotseat as men’s doubles supremo and Pang Cheh Chang and Rosman Razak assisting him.
Rexy has been put in charge of the women’s and mixed doubles squads.
Kim Her, who was previously the men’s doubles back-up coach, was away in Taipei for the Taiwan Open when the announcement was made.
He said he would meet BAM secretary Ng Chin Chai and general manager Kenny Goh for clarification regarding his new role.
“It was a bit of a surprise that they appointed me as the head for men’s doubles because I was still in Taiwan at that time,” said Kim Her after a training session at Juara Stadium in Bukit Kiara yesterday.
“I can’t say much about the appointment but I will meet Chin Chai and Kenny today to discuss my position.”
