YOGYAKARTA The Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) seems to be carrying out an overhaul in the coaching chair. They reportedly have appointed Herry Iman Pierngadi alias Herry IP as the mixed doubles head coach.
Meanwhile, the post left by Herry IP, namely the head coach of the Men's Doubles, is said to be filled by Thomas Indratjaja and Aryo Miranat.
So, what is the new candidate for men's doubles coach like? Information about Thomas Indratjaja's profile can be seen in the following article.
The emergence of the name Thomas Indratjaja as a candidate for the men's doubles coach of the PBSI National Training Center in Cipaayung, is actually quite surprising. The reason is, not many badminton lovers know his track record.
Summarized from various sources, Thomas Indratjaja is not a new figure in terms of coaching. Thomas was recorded as having been Pratama's men's doubles coach when PBSI was led by Wiranto.
During his time as the men's doubles coach, Thomas managed to give birth to top badminton players. One of them is the Berry Angriawan/Hardianto pair who won the 2017 Malaysia Masters event.
In the same year, the coach who was born on February 27, 1965, also accompanied the pair Mohammad Ahsan / Rian Agung Saputro to win the 2017 China IC title.
Thomas rarely appears in public even though he has been part of PBSI for years.
Prior to joining PBSI, Thomas had been the Head of the Achievement Development Division (Head of Binpres) PB Exist.
In addition, Thomas Indratjaja is also an important figure behind the emergence of the pair Leo Rolly Carnando / Daniel Marthin. At that time, this pair successfully won the Junior World Champion title in 2019.
After winning the title, Leo/Daniel expressed their gratitude to Thomas Indratjaja and his assistant, David Pohan, for taking care of him at the PBSI National Training Pratama level.
After Leo/Daniel got a place at the senior level, Thomas Indratjaja continued his task of guiding junior badminton players at the Cipayung National Training Center, including Muh. Son of Erwusyah/Patra hope Rindorindo.
However, the Men's/Patra pair have not succeeded in matching Leo/Daniel's achievement as Junior World Champion in 2022 after they were arrested by Chinese representatives Xu Hua Yu/Zhu Yi Jun in the final round.
If you look at his track record, the figure of Thomas Indratjaja may be considered PBSI as the right person to replace Herry IP as the caretaker of Fajar/Rian et al at the PBSI National Training Center.
