SEREMBAN: Former PDRM FC head coach Azzmi Ab Aziz has been appointed as the new head coach of Negri Sembilan FC (NSFC) with effect from February 15.

Meanwhile, Azzmi said the selection of players was made earlier and several PDRM FC players were brought into the team.
"Some old players like Nasrullah Haniff Johan, Barathkumar Ramaloo, Muhammad Afiq Fitri Mohd Jefry and Amirul Hakimi Rosli have been with me before.
"With the support of all parties, God willing we will be able to perform better and get positive results." he said. — BERNAMA
