Malaysian coach B. Sathianathan has been sacked by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM). Team manager Soh Chin Aun was also stripped of his role in a meeting on Sunday.

FAM deputy president Redzuan Sheikh Ahmad confirmed the news saying, "The meeting... unanimously agreed to end Sathianathan's contract with one month's notice for a number of reasons while Soh Chin Aun's service will stop immediately."

The news comes just two weeks after Malaysia lost 5-0 to the UAE.
