Eight years after arriving on our shores, Australian coach Brad Maloney leaves Malaysia to be at the helm of the Australian U-17 team. Leaving with a wealth of experience, the 50 year old - who spent his playing career with top A-league clubs and has represented Australia alongside the likes of Mark Viduka - was primarily in charge of youth football development in Malaysia, having groomed the likes of Luqman Hakim, Safawi Rasid and more, during his tenure as the U-19 and U-23 national team.

He joins us on the programme, as this week we reflect on his time working in Malaysian football.
