After all that drama, Misbun Sidek will not return to the national set-up.
Misbun rejected BA of Malaysia's (BAM) offer to train backup players. He submitted his letter to BAM president Datuk Seri Nadzmi Salleh on Wednesday.
Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek tried to patch things up between Misbun and the national body since the former quit on Dec 31.
Ahmad Shabery was clueless about the turn of events while National Sports Council (NSC) director-general Datuk Zolkples Embong said he was told about it on Wednesday.
"I'll need to look at the full report from BAM before I can comment further," was Ahmad Shabery's short reply.
Meanwhile, BAM deputy-president Tengku Kamil Ismail Idris Shah told reporters: "Misbun has rejected our offer and we respect his decision. We thank him for his past contributions."
Nevertheless, it remained unclear why Misbun rejected the offer. However, it is believed it is because he won't be handling world No 1 Lee Chong Wei.
The Penangite is now training under Tey Seu Bock and Rashid Sidek.
The relationship between Misbun and Chong Wei seemed strained of late. Both were at Astro Arena's first anniversary celebration on Sunday but they hardly spoke with each other
.
The Exco also announced former women's singles player Wong Mew Choo as coach starting May 1.

Let's hope Ahmad Shabery keeps his words to look into the report. It may not be able to bring Misbun back but it's important to find out how the contract was drafted. It's obvious something is not right here, Misbun didn't state his reason for not accepting the new role yet the coaching and training committee (ctc) unanimously accepted his request? Here, did they knew what to expect? Is there any conspiracy? Over to you guys!
