Fandi to add spice for KL next season?
PETALING JAYA: Will Singapore's Fandi Ahmad join Kuala Lumpur as the new football coach?
It will all be known tomorrow when the club get to know their total budget to run the show in the new season.
Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA) president Syed Yazid Syed Omar has indicated that there will be new additions and they will also decide on who the new coach would be.
It is learnt that the two coaching candidates linked to the club are Sulaiman Hussin and Fandi, who did a great job to take Pahang to the Malaysia Cup final recently.
Kuala Lumpur, coached by Miroslav Kuljanac during the 2024-2025 campaign, finished sixth in the Super League with 31 points, a respectable finish but still short of the club's aspirations.
As for players, it is learnt that centreback Irfan Zakaria could return to the club after leaving Kedah earlier this year.
'There may be changes. We may bring four or five national players to join the team,' said Yazid.
'We want to build a strong team who can compete in the league. We will know the details after our meeting on Wednesday (tomorrow).'
The current players that the club are looking to retain are Australian centreback Giancarlo Gallifuoco, striker Paulo Josue, rightback Kamal Azizi Zabri, goalkeeper Hafizul Hakim and winger J. Partiban.
As for foreigners, there could be changes with one of them being Timor Leste captain and winger Joao Pedro.

Davies sees good mix of newbies who can make a difference
PETALING JAYA: National captain Matthew Davies has given his full backing to the ''newbies'' of mixed heritage players in the Malaysian football squad. Many felt that it was unnecessary to bring in these players but Davies was quick to defend and embrace the inclusion of experienced centrebacks Facundo Garces, Jon Iranzabal and attackers Joal Figueiredo, Imanol Machuca and Rodrigo Holgado. In fact, the 30-year-old Johor Darul Ta'zim defender, who has won 55 caps with the country, believes they will hit the ground running in Malaysia's crunch match against Vietnam in the 2027 Asian Cup third-round qualifier at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. While some adjustments were needed, Davies said the players had integrated into the national set-up ahead of the Vietnam tie. 'They've come in, taken it seriously like we all do, and shown real commitment despite the language barriers,' said the Australian-born Davies. 'Integration will naturally take time, but what matters is 100 percent effort, which is needed to get the people on their side. 'No one should judge them any differently than any other player in the team.' The squad have been undergoing a well-structured centralised camp, which Davies believes has given them a solid base heading into the match. 'The phases were planned carefully. From a sports science perspective, it's been spot-on,' he said. 'We've been building for the past few weeks. We've come in fresh and worked hard. Some players are in the middle of their seasons, so the preparation needed to be tailored and I think we've done that well.' Vietnam have been unbeaten against Malaysia since 2014 and Davies acknowledged the challenge. 'We're focused on how we play as a group. The analysis is more on our game than on the opposition. It's going to be difficult no matter who we face. ''But if we stick to our plan and keep our identity strong, we'll give ourselves every chance.'

Cklamovski and his charges shut out external distractions to deliver on the field
Set for the big night: The Malaysian football team warming up at a training session ahead of their 2027 Asian Cup third round qualifier against Vietnam at the National Stadium today. — Bernama KUALA LUMPUR: There are negative vibes outside the walls of the national team camp but inside, head coach Peter Cklamovski is instilling positivity. As Malaysia gear up for their pivotal clash against Vietnam in the 2027 Asian Cup third-round qualifiers at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil today, the Australian coach sent out a strong message – they will continue to focus on rebuilding. He said the outside noise in regards to the mixed-heritage call-up and eligibility issues won't derail what is being built from within, which is unity and an ambition that is tied deeply to a long-term vision. 'All these don't distract us internally. We've had a good preparation and we're ready to come out at the stadium and do the country proud,' said Cklamovski. 'We've got new players from abroad - Malaysians who are proud every time they wear the jersey and train. ''We're building a family atmosphere, and we'll show that tomorrow night.' While critics and pundits have been fixated on naturalised players and perceived divides, Cklamovski insists the squad are only focused on progression, unity, and delivering for the fans, especially with the strategic backing of Johor Regent Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim. Coach Peter Cklamovski and captain Matthew Davies at a press conference. — Bernama 'This isn't about one game, it's about changing mindsets and rewriting Malaysia's football story,' said Cklamovski. 'We are building a long-term legacy. And to do that, we need all Malaysians behind us.' Malaysia haven't beaten Vietnam since 2014, a record that Cklamovski is eager to put behind them. 'Instead of being fearful, we want to embrace the challenge. Create a new history. We're ready for Vietnam to play their best game, we want to be at our best every day.' Since the centralised camp began on May 11, Cklamovski and his team have worked through every layer of preparation, from physical conditioning to instilling tactical identity. 'Despite many players being in the off-season, they've shown great professionalism. Everything has gone to plan. 'Our style is built on principles and progression. We've rotated all 30 players to assess and build chemistry. Every one of them knows what is expected.' One of the standout additions has been Facundo Garces, a towering centreback who plays in Spain's La Liga and now dons the Malaysian colours. 'Facundo is a high-level player. He brings elite standards and a mentality of never wasting a second. Some players have sacrificed a lot to be here, and he's connected with the team so well. That rubs off on others.' Cklamovski urged fans to recognise the stakes and get behind the project being built with an eye not just on Vietnam, but the bigger picture.
