Durakovic heads home and will be replaced by Yee Fatt


Fruitful outing: During his three-season stint, Mehmet Durakovic helped Perak win the Malaysia Cup in 2018 and took them to the FA Cup final the next year.

PETALING JAYA: The chants of “we are family” will no longer be heard in the Perak training ground or dressing room with the departure of Australian coach Mehmet Durakovic.

In a statement issued yesterday, the management said that the decision was mutual and Durakovic would be replaced by Chong Yee Fatt, the former Kuala Lumpur director of football, with immediate effect.
