ALOR STAR: The Kedah Darul Aman Football Club (KDA FC) Board of Directors today announced that Khamal Idris Ali has resigned as KDA FC chief executive officer (CEO) after serving the club for four years.
KDA FC said the resignation will allow Khamal Idris to focus on his business and give another qualified and capable individual the opportunity to steer the club.
"We, the KDA FC, wish to thank him for all that he has done and sacrificed.
"All the best in your endeavours. Your deeds with KDA FC will not be forgotten, thank you," the club said in a statement posted on the Kedah Darul Aman FC Facebook page today.
