KOTA KINABALU, Feb 25 (Bernama) -- Sabah FC has officially appointed former national Under-23 head coach Juan Torres Garrido as the team’s new head coach, the club manager Mohd Arziz Afizy announced today.
The Spaniard will assume the duties currently assigned to acting head coach Alto Linus, who filled the position temporarily following the resignation of Jean-Paul de Marigny in December.

“With strong team spirit and everyone’s determination, I’m confident Sabah FC can achieve better results,” he said.
