Comeback king Kim Swee bounces back from 2019 disappointments through latest appointment
On Monday, the Malaysian FA (FAM) announced the appointment of former Malaysia and Malaysia U-23 head coach Datuk Ong Kim Swee as its technical director.
The 50-year old trainer is replacing Dutchman Peter de Roo, who left the post late last year.
Although he had three stints as the Malaysia senior team head coach, twice as a caretaker and finally as a permanent appointee, it was his time as Malaysia U-23 that was arguably more memorable.
