他還在杜拜的訓練基地培養了下一代球員，指導包括拉克什亞·森和駱建佑等人才。
He also fostered the next generation of players at his training base in Dubai, mentoring talents like Lakshya Sen and Loh Kean Yew.
儘管已從職業賽場引退，安賽龍並未拋棄這項運動。
He intends to remain involved through coaching and youth development, ensuring his legacy will continue to influence badminton for many years to come.
