KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah FA dropped a bombshell with their announcement of parting ways with Mohd Azraai Khor Abdullah barely a month after appointing him as the Head Coach for the State Premier League squad..
Azraai’s departure was announced by its Deputy President II Datuk Lawrence Gimbang in a brief statement to the press yesterday.
No reason was stated for the decision, but it is understood that both sides could not work together in bringing about the team to a new level next season.
In the statement, Lawrence said: “After having a discussion with Mr Azraai Khor Abdullah, Safa and Mr Azraai have come to a mutual agreement to part ways before the commencement of the new season.”
“Both Safa and Mr Azraai Khor have agreed to this on amicable terms and Safa wishes Mr Azraai Khor the very best for the future. Safa further wishes to thank Mr Azraai for his contribution as coach for the month of October 2015,” the statement reads.
Following this development, Johnny Dominicus, Burhan Ajui and Jelius Ating will take charge of training until Safa gets their new man.
Meanwhile, Azraai met with the players for the last time at the Likas Stadium yesterday.
