In less than 24 hours after his resgnation, former AFC Leopards head coach Tomas Trucha has been unveiled as Penang FC coach.
Trucha who joined 3 time premier champion will now lead the Penang in the Liga Premier of Malaysia.
The coach had cited threats to his agent’s life as the reason for the decision to quit the club. Nation Sport however reported that the coach had an offer lined up from a club in Malaysia.
“Today, we accepted Tomas Trucha’s resignation as Head Coach, effective immediately. This has been occasioned by the coach feeling that his safety is not guaranteed since his manager, Mr. Prince Channis, has been threatened by people purporting to be Ingwe supporters,” the club’s National Executive Committee said in a statement on Thursday
“This is disturbing and unacceptable for anyone who claims to be a supporter of this esteemed club. True AFC Leopards’ supporters hold themselves to the highest standard and put the Club’s and public good before all else.
