Want to shock Vietnam at Asian Cup 2027?

Malaysia national team captain's contract is about to expire

The news that Malaysia is about to change its "general" was announced by FAM on the morning of December 16. However, according to FAM, Mr. Peter Cklamovski will take over the team after the AFF Cup 2024 ends. Currently, Spanish coach Pau Marti will continue to lead the "Malaysian Tigers" and have full authority in the dressing room. In addition to Mr. Peter Cklamovski, FAM also appointed coach Nafuzi Zain as the new captain of the U.23 team.

According to Malaysian media, FAM spent a lot of time analyzing before appointing Mr. Peter Cklamovski as the head coach of the national team. In 2015, when the Australian team won the 2015 Asian Cup, Mr. Peter Cklamovski was an assistant to coach Ange Postecoglou (current coach of Tottenham Hotspur - playing in the Premier League). In 2019, Mr. Peter Cklamovski also won the J-League 1 with Yokohama Marinos.

Notably, the first goal that FAM set for Mr. Peter Cklamovski is to help the Malaysian team to be present at the 2027 Asian Cup. This is considered a difficult task for the Australian coach because in the qualifying round, the Malaysian team is in the same group F with the teams of Vietnam, Laos and Nepal. According to the tournament's regulations, only the 6 teams ranked first in the qualifying round will qualify for the final round, along with the 18 teams that were present after the second qualifying round ended last June.

“Two key figures will lead the new structure of the Malaysian team. This is the beginning of a major revolution in Malaysian football. Mr. Peter Cklamovski is a young coach of great stature, ensuring that the Malaysian team can compete better in the international arena, starting from the 2027 Asian Cup qualifying campaign in March. We must surpass Vietnam, Laos, and Nepal to be present in this tournament,” FAM emphasized.

The goal of the Malaysian team (yellow shirt) is to be present at the 2027 Asian Cup.

Regarding Malaysian football, the country's men's team is still facing difficulties at the AFF Cup 2024. After 3 matches, the "Malaysian Tigers" only have 4 points, ranking 3rd in Group A. In the final match, taking place on December 20, Malaysia will play at home at Bukit Jalil and face Singapore (ranked 2nd with 6 points). The Malaysian team must win this match to have any hope of finishing the group stage with one of the two leading positions, winning a ticket to the semi-finals.
