BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Feb 27 (NNN-BBNEWS) – The National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (NFABD), officially appointed K. Rajagobal, the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Championship-winning coach from Malaysia, as the new national football head coach.
According to the AFF and a local daily, an official signing ceremony was held here between the NFABD and K. Rajagobal on Thursday afternoon. The new head coach started his tenure in Jan, 2021, and had already conducted a national training camp earlier this month.
“We are trying to push Brunei football to the next level. If we compare Brunei Darussalam with other countries in the region, many people will feel that our country is small with limited resources. Whatever we lack in, we can overcome with high spirits. We want to be on track with global and regional football,” NFABD president, Haji Matusin, was quoted as saying, at the signing ceremony.
Matusin added that the Malaysian coach had an excellent track record and the NFABD hopes that he can translate his success with the Malaysian national team to Brunei.– NNN-BBNEWS
