The 53-year-old has sealed his return on a two-year deal after having served as the men’s doubles head coach from 2005-2012, where he was best remembered for grooming Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong into a world No. 1 pair.
“Now that I’m back, I have the opportunity to realise my mission to help Malaysia win gold at the 2024 Olympics,” said Rexy in a virtual interview from Kuala Lumpur. “BAM have already made some progress with the likes of Pearly and Thinaah emerging from the women’s doubles. I can see that they are getting better and better as they were able to give Greysia -Apriyani , the reigning Olympic champions a run for their money in the recent matches.
“Malaysian players have always been very good, but they must solve their problem with inconsistency. This will be the first thing I intend to discuss with coaching director Wong Choong Hann,” said Rexy.
