KUALA LUMPUR: South Korean Park Joo-bong may start his job as the country’s badminton supremo as early as January next year if negotiations fall into place over the next three weeks.
The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) have identified Joo-bong as the prime candidate for project manager, who will oversee three squads – the singles, doubles and Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS).
The objective of these three squads is to produce a group of potential world beaters to peak at three Olympics – 2016, 2020 and 2024.
Discussions have been held between BAM and Joo-bong and even the National Sports Council (NSC) are ready to make a lucrative offer to lure him to Malaysian again.
Joo-bong was Malaysia’s chief coach from 2000-2003 before he was tempted away by an irresistible offer to be Japan’s head coach.
The BAM were earlier not keen on hiring a foreign coach but Joo-bong emerged as a frontrunner after several local candidates failed to win any favours at the last BAM exco meeting headed by Datuk Seri Nadzmi Mohd Salleh.

SRINAGAR: London Olympics quarter finalist Parupalli Kashyap and Ajay Jayaram set up the men's singles title clash between them after scoring contrasting wins in their respective semifinals at the 77th Senior National Badminton Championship, on Tuesday.
World number 20 Kashyap, who was the runners up at the 2010 edition, spanked K Srikanth 21-5 21-8 in a completely lopsided semifinal, while Jayaram tamed sixth seed Nanda Gopal K 21-14, 21-15 in the other semifinal.
Neither Kashyap nor Jairam has won a national title before and whoever wins tomorrow will celebrate his maiden trophy.
Kashyap hardly broke a sweat against Srikanth as he outplayed his rival. In the first game he created a 11-3 lead and in the second he opened up a 16-7 lead, not allowing his young rival to put up any challenge.

KOO Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong may have been let off the hook but national men's doubles head coach Tan Kim Her is looking at splitting second ranked Goh V Shem-Lim Khim Wah who have also been struggling to make an impact this year.
V Shem had stated he wanted a new partner and was linked to Boon Heong but the BA of Malaysia's executive committee rejected the suggestion and granted Kien Keat-Boon Heong another year to prove themselves.
Kim Her said Khim Wah wants a new partner after knowing of V Shem's stand and they will resume their previous combinations with Chan Peng Soon and Ong Jian Guo respectively. They last played as pairs in 2008.
