FA Selangor sack head coach B. Satiananthan days after JDT thrashing

Just days after their 6-1 Malaysia Super League humiliation at the hands of Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT), Selangor have sacked their first team head coach B. Satiananthan.

The club that are currently sitting in place in the standings announced the decision through their social media accounts on Monday afternoon, September 21.

While the thrashing might have been the last straw, the Red Giants' performance this year has called into question the former Malaysia head coach's suitability for the job. From eight matches, Selangor have recorded only two wins, four draws and two defeats.

His stint at the club, which began in 2019 as a last-minute replacement for club legend Mehmet Durakovic, had been fraught in fans' doubt over his capabilities to lead the team that had been undergoing transformation under president, Tengku Amir Shah Sultan Sharafudin.
