PETALING JAYA: Nova Widianto took the bold step of taking up the coaching job outside Indonesia for the first time in his career due to the trust and confidence he had in his former teammate Rexy Mainaky.
Rexy, Malaysia’s doubles coaching director, had approached Nova on the possibility of joining forces in Malaysia as the national mixed doubles coach during the World Championships in August.
