Once a domestic stalwart as a player—and later coach in the local clubs before venturing ti Malaysia and Indonesia —he has now earned the Malaysia Super League Coach of the Year after leading Kuching City FC to a surprising and stirring fourth-place finish in the 2024-25 Malaysia Super League, transforming a team in relegation danger into one that will compete in the ASEAN Club Championship next season. But while Aidil’s triumph south of the Causeway is a bright spot, it also highlights how far Singapore football seems to have drifted. Domestically, the Singapore Premier League is struggling to raise the bar and consistently produce results that excite fans or develop players into regional calibre stars. The national team continues to underwhelm in many tournaments. Aidil Sharin steps into the KitorangSG studio this week to talk about football.  Aidil Sharin Sahak ialah satu nama yang telah mencetuskan rasa bangga dan sekaligus membuat kita merenung akan tahap pencapaian bolasepak di Singapura.

Dari sebuah pasukan yang hampir tersingkir dari Luga Super kini Kuching City FC akan bertanding dalam Kejohanan Kelab ASEAN musim hadapan. Sedang Aidil menyerlah di seberang tambak bolasepak Singapura seakan semakin malap. Singapore Premier League sedang bergelut untuk meningkatkan standard. Pasukan kebangsaan pula terus mengecewakan dalam banyak kejohanan. Aidil Sharin akan muncul di studio KitorangSG minggu ini untuk berbicara tentang bola sepak.
