Pan-gon relishes new challenge with Harimau Malaya

Major stride: Pan-gon satisfied with the growth shown by his boys last year.

PETALING JAYA: It’s been a year since Kim Pan-gon took on the job as Harimau Malaya coach – and he is relishing every bit of his time in the country.

It has been a fruitful one year for the South Korean. He has taken the team to the Asia Cup – on merit for the first time in 42 years – the AFF Mitsubishi Cup semi-final and to second place in the King’s Cup in Thailand.
