An interview conducted with Sarawak new head coach Fuad Grbesic this afternoon revealed that the Crocs would be retaining most of its current coaching staff. However, according to Fuad, one new appointment has been made with former legendary Sarawak player, Ibrahim Mentali romped in to his team.
Another list of alleged coaching staff was also revealed by us on @SarawakCrocs Twitter early today, but Fuad gave the confirmation in his meeting with Mr Kopi at a local cafe of his new staff.
Below is the unofficial coaching staff list:
Head team coach: Fuad Grbesic (new appointment)
Assistang coach: David Usop (retained)
Assistant coach: Ibrahim Mentali (new appointment)
Goalkeeping coach: Mohana Sundram a/l Packirisamy (retained)
Fitness coach: Azley Abdullah (retained)
Two coaches seem to have been dropped as we were made to understand, namely David Usop and Mohd Farhan Abdullah. Both coaches have been with Sarawak for quite sometime including when Sarawak went undefeated in 2013. [UPDATED 12.7.15, 7:42PM] – David Usop has also been retained with only Mohd Farhan Abdullah released from his responsibilities. Mohd Farhan has been helping the Crocs and was hugely invoved with Sarawak attaining an undefeated season in 2013.
Despite Fuad’s confirmation of his new coaching team, no official announcement has been made by Sarawak FA management just yet, prompting us to say that this list still remains unofficial for now.
