Coaches Chin Eei Hui, Wong Pei Tty and Rosman Razak have left Malaysian national team, an official statement from the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) confirmed.
Eei Hui and Pei Tty’s contracts were not renewed while Rosman “parted ways by mutual consent”. The contracts of the three coaches will expire at the end of this year.
Eei Hui and Pei Tty are coaches in the women’s doubles department while Rosman is a coach in the men’s doubles department.
Myallsports.com quoted Secretary General of BAM Kenny Goh as saying, “Malaysia is very grateful to Rosman, Chin Eei Hui and Wong Pei Tty for their contributions to the national team over the years. Hopefully they can start a new journey. “
Eei Hui, as the mixed doubles coach, was instrumental in Goh Liu Ying and Chan Peng Soon’s silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Chin Eei Hui is a former women’s doubles player with partner Wong Pei Tty and was ranked as high as No. 1 in the world rankings.
Eei Hui told The Star, “I had made my decision to leave in May, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I decided to see out my contract.”
She plans to venture into a private badminton coaching as the next chapter of her career.
Chan Peng Soon, who has also left the national team, said that he was surprised when he heard the news about Eei Hui. He said, “Eei Hui was a great coach. Honestly, Liu Ying and I would not have reached the final of the Olympics if not for her.
“I wish Eei Hui all the best. She is a great coach and she deserves the best.”
