The Badminton Association of Indonesia (PBSI) have announced their coaching line-up for the national team for 2021.
“We have decided to bring in a coach to run the national training programme. For our main team there is no replacement because the existing coaches are already tested, experienced and qualified,” said Rionny Mainaky, PBSI Head of Coaching and Performance.
“Furthermore, we will face important tournaments this year, including the Tokyo Olympics. So, we don’t want to take risks. If there are changes, it might affect the programme and this in turn result in the players’ preparation being disrupted.’
