Sports Minutes: Has hindsight proved that both Erik ten Hag & Hyrizan Jufri were the wrong appointments for their respective clubs?
Hindsight is often 20/20. But if both Tanjong Pagar United and Manchester United could go back in time, should they still have made their respective managerial appointments? 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.
