KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 — In a stunning turn of events, Selangor FC’s head coach Nidzam Jamil has resigned from his position just days after the team suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) in a tense Super League match held at the Petaling Jaya City Council Stadium.

The announcement of his resignation, effective immediately, sent shockwaves through the football community, especially given that the defeat marked a significant setback for the Red Giants. Nidzam’s decision has come as a surprise, especially since he had managed to bring the club back into contention for top honors this season.

In an official statement, Selangor FC expressed their respect for Nidzam’s decision and gratitude for his contributions. “We would like to take this opportunity to thank Nidzam Jamil for his significant efforts during his time with us. Under his leadership, Selangor FC has emerged as one of the top three teams in the Super League, finished as runners-up in this year's FA Cup, and topped Group H of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League Two (ACL2).”

Nidzam's tenure was noted for instilling a strong competitive spirit among the players, crucial for maintaining high performances throughout the season. His leadership was pivotal in Selangor's impressive run, but the recent loss to JDT highlighted gaps in strategy that may have led to his unexpected departure.

Following Nidzam’s exit, Abdi Hassan has been named as the interim head coach while the club seeks a permanent replacement. The pressure is now on the new interim coach to stabilize the team and navigate through the remainder of the season.

Just seven months earlier, Nidzam took over as head coach after the previous manager Tan Cheng Hoe left to pursue a coaching role in Thailand. Now, as the dust settles from this shocking resignation, questions arise about the future of Selangor FC and who will take the reins next.

As fans and analysts eagerly await the club’s next move, there's no denying that this turn of events has added drama to an already exciting season. Stay tuned for updates as Selangor FC searches for a new head coach to guide the team back to glory!
