SINGAPORE - Twelve months after losing their SEA Games crown in the Philippines, the Singapore men's water polo team will be parting ways with their coach of four years Dejan Milakovic.
The Serb will be replaced by former Japan national captain Kan Aoyogi, who will take over in March. This comes shortly after the Singapore Swimming Association (SSA) appointed Australian Paul Oberman as its water polo technical director in January.
