Malaysian FA Cup, only the first step of success for gifted tactician Aidil Sharin

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.
