Rahmad, who is more well known as RD, signed the contract late yesterday and where he will be with the east coast side on a two-year contract.
“The process was quite tedious and it is for this reason, that I could not reveal anything prior to the signing of the contract. There was still some uncertainty until I decided to train T-Team,â explained RD.
“I feel excited at the prospect of leading a team for promotion and it was for this reason, I decided to sign with T-Team.â
RD revealed that he had initially received two offers â from T-Team and also Terengganu FA which plays in the higher Malaysian Super League.
