Former Home United coach Aidil Shahrin made waves across the causeway when he led Kedah to glory in the Malaysian FA Cup, and a fourth-place finish in the MSL (Malaysian Super League) - despite the club's minuscule budget when compared to the traditional powerhouses.
Aidil's coaching abilities may be seen as a surprise by pundits in Malaysia, however, as someone who has witnessed his rise; his success comes as no surprise. When I first followed him closely during his time at Home, I realised he was a coach with immense potential due to his clarity of ideas - how he wants his team to function.
