30/10/24 - Sports Minutes: Has hindsight proved that both Erik ten Hag & Hyrizan Jufri were the wrong appointments for their respective clubs?

In the Singapore Premier League, Hyrizan Jufri arrived promising "attacking football". Yet the Jaguars have lost 4 in 4 under his tutelage, conceding 22 and scoring just 3. Over in England, the Red Devils parted company with the long-suffering ten Hag as results became untenable. Deepanraj Ganesan joins Zia-ul Raushan to run the rule on Sports Minutes.
