Sathianathan speaks out for equal treatment of local coaches


PETALING JAYA: Former national coach B. Sathianathan says the lack of respect for top local coaches is telling, and it has to stop.

The Football Coaches Association of Malaysia (PJBM) president is in solidarity with Terengganu coach Nafuzi Zain, who has called the management out for being unprofessional after he claimed that he had received his contract extension letter through a kitman during a training session.
