BAM to hire Cheh Chang as mixed doubles chief coach?

The Malaysia Badminton Association (BAM) has reportedly hired Pang Cheh Chang as the new mixed doubles chief coach, following the departure of Indonesian Nova Widianto in July. Cheh Chang, who has been a national junior men's doubles coach for two decades, is set to take over Nova's position and has already begun his duties. Another candidate, former BAM chief coach Yap Kim Hock, is also being considered, but he will not assume the senior side role as he will instead become the new national junior men's doubles coach.

The final announcement of the appointments is scheduled to be made after the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, which take place from September 19 to October 4.
