Sathianathan tells coaches not to be afraid of fighting for their rights

Take a stand: B. Sathianathan (right), the president of the Football Coaches Association of Malaysia, wants coaches to inform the association of grouses and unfair treatment from the various football teams.

KUALA LUMPUR: Flaws in contracts offered to coaches have complicated the efforts of the Football Coaches Association of Malaysia (PJBM) to seek justice and compensation for those facing issues such as unpaid salary arrears.

PJBM president B. Sathianathan said it was difficult for the association to help the coaches if the contract signed with the team did not clearly lay out the terms.
