KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 — Dollah Salleh said today he is ready to resign as the Malaysian national football team coach, following a humiliating 10-0 loss to the UAE yesterday.

In a report by English daily New Straits Times (NST), Dollah said he did not expect the team nicknamed Harimau Malaya to concede 10 goals in its worst match in recent times.

“I don’t know, maybe. We will see everything in two or three days,” Dollah told the post-match press conference, when asked if he will resign.

“I don’t know what happened tonight, especially the defence line, we gave away cheap goals, three or four goals were cheap goals … Overall I don’t know what to say, it can be considered a disaster for our Malaysian team.

“I did not expect we would concede 10 goals. We only had three or four days to prepare and many players were tired from playing in the Super League,” he added, referring to the country’s top-tier football league.

The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) is expected to release a statement later today on Dollah’s future, NST said.

Earlier today, Johor crown prince Tunku Ismail Ibrahim urged the FAM to sack coach Dollah Salleh immediately and replace him with a more qualified foreign coach.

Malaysia lost to UAE in Abu Dhabi yesterday in the Asian Zone World Cup qualifiers, after the latter led by 7-0 in the half-time.
