More than just a coach


PETALING JAYA: The who’s who of Malaysian football paid their last respects to former Malaysia coach B. Sathianathan at his funeral at the Nirvana Memorial Park in Shah Alam yesterday.

Many of them were still in shock over the passing of the 65-year-old, who died of cancer on Tuesday, as they shared tales of their memorable encounters with the colourful and outspoken character who was called “Malaysia’s Jose Mourinho”.
