Since he is already retired from playing. He is currently looking for opportunity to learn English and to share his knowledge of badminton to that country which he will be going. It means he is open to offers. However currently he has been contacted by countries like US, France, New Zealand , Philippines and Singapore as well to be the coach for them. And since IBF ( International Badminton Federation ) has already established IBF training centers in Germany, China and Bulgaria plus future plans of expanding training centers in USA and my country Malaysia. He has also been offered a position there as well. But of course KDM's main focus is still to study English and Physical Trainning. Anyhow it will also be a great deal if he combine study and coaching at the same time.
Kim DM wants an academic career. So he will have finished his doctoral study by the end of this year. IBF already offered him a contract as a coach in one of the training facilities. As far as I'm informed except the US and Malaysian one every other facility in Germany, China and Bulgaria has got their own coaching staff. English is the official language in these training facilities. It's also possible that Kim DM goes to an English speaking country, but it must be an offer from an academic insitute as he already mentioned.
Come to Canada... America has Tony and Halim already... don't be so greedy candra and sigit can come too when they retire hahaha.
