Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) president Hamidin Amin has clarified that the body does not pay ‘excessive’ salaries to its coaching staff.
“Overall, if we follow each individual (assistant coach) according to their ranking in the team, their salaries are around US$5,000-US$10,000, and even up to US$15,000.
“If it’s the head coach, (the salary) is higher, but everything is reasonable. (Salaries) are below US$20,000 but all in US dollars,” Berita Harian quoted him as saying.
“FAM pays all (salaries).”
Kim Pan Gon is the coach of Harimau Malaya, while Pau Marti Vicente and E Elavarasan are assistant coaches.
Other team members include assistant coach Park Bo-bae, performance analyst Lim Jae-hun, and his assistant, Lee Je-yoon, fitness coach Park Ji-hyeon and goalkeeping coach Cho Jun-ho.
