SINGAPORE - In a coaching reshuffle for next season's Singapore Premier League (SPL), Tampines Rovers will be guided by one of Singapore's most respected football tacticians in tandem with a promising young coach.
Kadir Yahaya, who led the Republic to a bronze at the 2010 Youth Olympics, will be an adviser to the Stags and with him on the bench will be new head coach-in-waiting Gavin Lee, who takes over from German Jurgen Raab. Tampines' recently retired captain Fahrudin Mustafic will also join the backroom staff as an assistant coach.
