Ghani insists no coach decision made yet
KUALA LUMPUR: The FA of Malaysia (FAM) has yet to discuss Tan Cheng Hoe's future or the possibility of appointing a foreign coach to lead Harimau Malaya towards the 2030 World Cup-2031 Asian Cup qualifiers.
The president of Malaysia's Football Association (FAM), Datuk Ab Ghani Hassan, has stated that no decision on Tan Cheng Hoe's future or the appointment of a foreign coach has been made yet. Ghani emphasized that the priority is to find a coach who can deliver results, whether local or foreign. The FA's decision-making process will include considering the expertise foreign coaches bring, but finding success with a local coach remains the primary focus.
FAM's last foreign coaches were Kim Pan Gon and Peter Cklamovski, with mixed results. The president mentioned that the issue has gained traction due to Malaysia's impressive performance in the FIFA Asean Cup, but no discussions have occurred on the coaching matter.
