, Rexy admitted to taking responsibility by stepping down as dual director of BAM.
“Based on the national doubles performance, the target of four gold medals seemed realistic. However, in reality, we failed to achieve it and only won one gold medal,” said Rexy.
“So therein lies the problem of responsibility that I mean. If there is a [request for resignation], I am ready [to resign]. That’s all,” added Rexy.
The former national training coach for the Indonesian badminton team revealed that many parties would question his responsibility as coaching director regarding failure to achieve targets.It is possible that the criticism came from outsiders.
“Of course there will be views and criticism from outside parties. Even before, after the defeat in the team event, some people said it was entirely the coach’s fault,” said Rexy.
