December 27, 1996 (New Shuttlenws) - The much-ballyhooed top-dollar coaching contract between Morten Frost of Denmark and the Persatuan Badminton Malaysia has not yet been finalized, according to sources at the Malaysian badminton association.

Frost, a former world top men's singles player and currently a hot coaching talent, is on vacation in Europe and will not deal with the contract until after the Christmas season.

However, Frost is still expected to take up the Malaysian badminton head coaching spot in mid-February.

In another international coaching development, Finn Traerup-Hansen, Frost's predecessor as Danish head coach, has come to terms with the Australian badminton association and will be their head coach in the run-up to the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. Coach Traerup-Hansen will take up his post in Australia on January 6.
