KUALA LUMPUR, April 10 (Bernama) – The National Sports Council (MSN) has agreed to meet the request of Malaysia Athletics (MA) to appoint six new coaches to strengthen the athletics squad for upcoming major competitions, including the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand later this year.
The agreement was reached during a meeting between MSN Director-General Jefri Ngadirin and the MA delegation led by its president, Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim, at the MSN headquarters today.
The six new coaches, comprising three foreign experts and three local coaches, were selected by MA to enhance coaching across all disciplines, including sprints, throws, and jumps.
