Spaniard Muniz says adios after three memorable years with JDT
The 33-year-old's contract with the Southern Tigers has come to an end, and Muniz took to social media to announce his departure, with a heavy heart.
'After three unforgettable years, it's time to close a very special chapter in my life,' said Muniz.
'I'm saying goodbye to JDT with a heart full of gratitude for everything I've experienced at this club,' he said.
Muniz joined JDT from Greek club Atromitos, and has since made 42 appearances for the Southern Tigers and scored 15 goals.
He also thanked team owner, the Regent of Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, and sporting director Kiko Insa for their belief in him.
'Thanks also to my teammates, the staff, and all the fans for making this journey truly unique.
'Johor will always be a part of me. See you in the future!' he said.
Muniz's departure also saw well wishes from his current and former teammates, with Arif Aiman Hanapi saying, 'Thank you my bro, all the best in the future!'
Midfielder Syamer Kutty Abba, who is on loan from JDT to Kuala Lumpur, said, 'Good luck my Gareth Bale!'
Muniz was among the three finalists for the Best Import Player award at the 2024-2025 National Football Awards, which went to teammate Bergson Da Silva.
Among Muniz's highlights with the club was at last season's FA Cup final, when he was named best player after scoring a hattrick during JDT's 6-1 win against Selangor at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.

Arteta: Arsenal ready to win after years of falling short
LONDON: Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said the Gunners believe this season will be different as they aim to get over a series of near misses at winning silverware. Arteta has not won a trophy since lifting the FA Cup in his debut season in charge in 2019/20. However, he has transformed Arsenal back into serial contenders for major trophies. Arteta's men have finished second in the Premier League for the past three years and reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2009 last season. The pressure is now on the Spaniard to get over the line after another major investment in new players in the transfer window. Nearly £200 million (US$266 million) has been spent on new striker Viktor Gyokeres, midfielders Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard, centre-back Cristhian Mosquera as well as winger Noni Madueke and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. "We know what our targets are and what we want to achieve this season – there is a big belief in our ability to achieve that," Arteta said in his programme notes ahead of Wednesday's pre-season friendly against Villarreal. "We have been very, very close the last few seasons and the whole team is going to determine whether we achieve that or not. "But at the same time, we have to make sure that we don't lose sight of what we have to do on a daily basis to get to the levels that we want. "We have to set the demands that we want within this goal, because that's the most important thing – the internal demands have to always exceed any external demand. That is what we are trying to achieve every single day." Arteta added he wants his players to feel "invincible" at home thanks to a special connection with the club's fans. "We want our people to start connecting with our players straight away, to start to build momentum and to start to feel that at home we are invincible," he said. "That we play here with such passion, energy and connection with our people, that we are going to win the game."

Arteta confident Arsenal can end trophy drought this season
ARSENAL manager Mikel Arteta insists his team has the belief to end their trophy drought this season. The Gunners have not won a major title since Arteta lifted the FA Cup in his first season in charge back in 2019/20. Despite falling short in recent years, Arsenal have re-emerged as consistent contenders under Arteta's leadership. The club finished second in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons and reached the Champions League semi-finals last term. With significant summer signings, including Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi, Arteta is under pressure to deliver. Nearly £200 million was spent to strengthen the squad ahead of the new campaign. 'We know our targets, and there's a big belief in our ability to achieve them,' Arteta said ahead of a pre-season friendly. He emphasized the importance of maintaining high internal standards to meet expectations. Arteta also highlighted the role of fan support in creating an 'invincible' atmosphere at home. Arsenal begin their Premier League season with a high-profile clash against Manchester United on August 17. – AFP

Family man Gallifuoco savours fifth season with 'Keluarga KL'
PETALING JAYA: Giancarlo Gallifuoco arrived in Kuala Lumpur with little fanfare and few expectations five years ago. Today, the towering Italian-Australian centreback is not just a senior figure at Kuala Lumpur but one of the Malaysian Super League's most respected voices - on and off the pitch. As he enters his fifth season with the City Boys, Gallifuoco reflects on the journey with gratitude, humility, and unshakable love for a city, club, and culture that embraced him fully. "I'm incredibly grateful to be reaching this milestone," he said. "As a footballer, you're always trying to find a home where you play your best football and feel valued. Kuala Lumpur has been that place for me." In his time at Kuala Lumpur, Gallifuoco has played in three finals - winning the Malaysia Cup in 2021 and finishing runners-up in the 2022 AFC Cup and 2023 FA Cup - and helped shape a team known as much for their grit as their growing silverware ambitions. Yet, for him, it is not just about what happens on the pitch. "My favourite compliment is when people say we're known for our camaraderie, our culture, our never-say-never attitude," said the 31-year-old, who once played for top European sides like Torino and Tottenham Hotspur. "That's what we're about. We call ourselves Keluarga KL City - a family. "That bond is what defines us.' Now with high-profile arrivals like Safawi Rasid, Syamer Kutty Abba, Manuel Hidalgo, and Kpah Sherman, expectations have never been higher. A new coach, Risto Vidakovic, is at the helm, bringing renewed ambition to Kuala Lumpur's campaign. "There's definitely more expectations this year," Gallifuoco admits. "But expectations can be the thief of joy if you don't use it correctly. First and foremost, we're competing with the KL City of last year. We want to do better than sixth. That's our first hurdle. "We've got real quality players now - players who can devastate teams. But our foundation will always be the culture in the dressing room - helping each other get better, winning together, celebrating each other's success." With such a deep connection to the club and the country, it's no surprise that the topic of naturalisation has become a serious conversation surrounding Gallifuoco. "To even have people talk about me playing for the national team - that's the most flattering thing. It's an honour. I've been called the 'adopted one,' and I wear that with pride." Born in Sydney to Italian parents, Gallifuoco says Malaysia feels more like home than anywhere else he's lived in adulthood. "I come from a culture where football and food are everything and Malaysia reflects that. Malays, Chinese, Indians - all here for a better life, all proud of their roots, and all united through food and football. "From eating with my hands at Indian restaurants to grabbing ikat tepi on the way to the stadium - I love it. It's become part of me. "This is the longest place I've lived as an adult. More than Sydney or London. I'm way more a city boy now than I am a Sydney boy." But Gallifuoco's love for Malaysia goes beyond lifestyle. He is deeply passionate about the growth of the Malaysian League and he is not afraid to say what he thinks it needs. "The Malaysian League has everything - culture, history, community. I love that people can go to the restaurant, watch a game, and talk about when their dad watched Selangor or Pahang back in the day. It's beautiful." Still, he believes the league can reach greater heights - if clubs and fans work together. "People say, 'Johor will win anyway.' But that's not the point. Even in leagues where one team dominate, fans still show up. Why? Because there's pride in supporting your club. "Look at Sabah, Terengganu, Selangor, and us - we're all close in quality and fighting for the top spots. That's exciting. But the atmosphere needs to match the potential. The Indonesian League doesn't always have better teams but their fans create a show and that brings value." "If more clubs built stronger connections with fans, the energy in stadiums would skyrocket. That, in turn, brings better players, bigger moments, and more belief in the league."
