[Saba Sports News] Following the recent announcement by the Japan Badminton Association that Aya Ohori’s father will take over as head coach of the Japanese team, the future of legendary Korean coach Park Joo Bong, who will leave the Japan Badminton Association next year, has become a focal point of public interest. Recently, Malaysian media speculated that Park Joo Bong might return to coach the Badminton Association of Malaysia. As a renowned doubles player from Korea, Park has a deep badminton background and a brilliant career. He won five world championship titles and coached in Malaysia for a short time after retiring in 1996, leaving valuable experience for future generations. I believe it is still uncertain whether Park Joo Bong will coach in Malaysia; he has various options available. He might return to Korea to contribute to his country’s badminton efforts or go to other countries to continue promoting badminton. Regardless of where he ultimately chooses to coach, his coaching career will continue to attract attention in the international badminton community.
