Malaysian coach quits after humiliating loss

AFP, KUALA LUMPUR: The coach of Malaysia’s national football team announced his resignation on Saturday just days after his squad was thrashed 10-0 by the United Arab Emirates during a World Cup qualifying match.
Dollah Salleh’s tenure as head coach comes to a premature end after he signed a two-and-a-half year contract in July last year, in a bid to lift the team out of the doldrums.
“Who can accept a 10-0 defeat? That is why I quit,” Salleh, who was one of the top footballers from the region in the 1980s and 1990s, told AFP.
