JDT coach Munoz cools talk of taking charge of Harimau Malaya
KUALA LUMPUR: Xisco Munoz has played down talk of taking charge of Malaysia, saying he would rather continue learning and developing at club level before considering the demands of international football.
KUALA LUMPUR: Johor Darul Ta zim (JDT) coach Xisco Munoz has downplayed speculation about taking up the role of managing Harimau Malaya, stating that he intends to continue developing his skills at club level before contemplating international football opportunities. Regent of Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim may offer the Harimau Malaya position, but Munoz is not eager to take it.
The current interim coach, Tan Cheng Hoe, is handling the team. Munoz emphasized that he still has a lot to learn about managing a national team, as the responsibilities differ significantly. He reiterated that his primary focus right now is on club football, where he can continue honing his skills and making mistakes to improve.
At 45 years old, Munoz feels that learning and working in club football is more important for his career development. He acknowledged that the national team does not meet his current expectations. Despite his success with JDT, including winning a historic quadruple, Munoz remains committed to furthering his coaching career in Malaysia and is not motivated by the prospect of international management at this time.
