Indonesian women's singles coach Jeff has resigned, and the coaching staff of the Malaysian national badminton team has been in turmoil again. The 49-year-old Jeff resigned from his position as the Malaysian national women's singles coach on February 27 local time. Jeffer revealed in an interview, "In fact, I would have liked to leave the team after the [2024] World Junior Badminton Championships. But when I was appointed as the Women's Singles coach, I decided to take on a new challenge. "But it's always best to leave when we're still at our prime, and I think now is the time. I will focus on my two sons, who dream of becoming senior badminton players in Indonesia. ”

In order to nurture his son with a badminton dream, Jeff decided to resign from his position as the coach of the Malaysian national badminton women's singles

Jeffrey, who joined the BWF at the end of 2023, started as the head coach of the Malaysian national badminton youth team, and led the team to win 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze at the World Youth Badminton Championships in October last year, including the men's doubles championship won by the "Qin Xing pair" Dai Weiqin and Jiang Kaixing for the first time in 13 years.

After the World Youth Championships, Jeff, who was a player who mainly attacked singles, was transferred to the head coach of the Malaysian national women's singles. Jeff also denied working with Danish Malaysian singles head coach Jonathan, stating, "I don't have any problems working with Jonathan. "Jonathan has a European style of coaching, and I have an Asian style of coaching, and I am willing to learn from him." On the other hand, he is a newbie to Asia and is adapting to the system. ”

Jeffer also thanked Rathi, the BWF's Coaching Director, Raisi, saying, "It was Raisi who invited me to join BWF in the first place, and I am very grateful to him and the BWF for giving me this opportunity. "Although Lacey was disappointed, he understood that I wanted to pay more attention to the family's situation and gave him his blessings." Jeff also said, "I'm not going to completely cut ties with the Badminton Association. If there are other opportunities in the future, I will be willing to try. ”
