He has been the assistant head coach for Perak senior team under Steve Darby and M. Karathu. For the 2010 season, he was appointed the head coach of Perak. However, the exit of many senior players due to financial difficulties has forced him to play many young players. The results in Super League is a lowly 11th place out of 14 teams, where Perak narrowly avoid relegation and barely qualify for Malaysia Cup. Perak disappointingly exited the Malaysia Cup at the group stage. Due to these results, he was replaced by Norizan Bakar as head coach for 2011 season.
