Selangor recently sacked head coach B. Satiananthan, after a run of poor performances and their recent 6-1 humiliation by JDT in the Malaysia Super League.
While many Red Giants fans breathed a sigh of relief over his departure, a former Selangor coach came to the defence of Satiananthan.
In the comments section of a Selangor supporters fan page's post announcing Satiananthan's departure, former Selangor player, caretaker and youth coach Gunalan Karupiah posited that one factor for the club's failure to perform well under Satiananthan is their refusal to give a chance to young players from the state of Selangor.
