Managerial career

[edit]

His managerial career started by leading Tumpat FA in the middle of 2013 FAM League.[1] He joined National Football Development Programme of Malaysia (NFDP) coaching staff from 2014 to 2018.[2] He was also a former U-13 and U-15 Malaysia national team coach participating in national tours, including Iber Cup Estoril, Portugal and Costa Del Sol, Spain.

As part of the National U-16 coaching staff, alongside Lim Teong Kim, he participated in the AFC U-16 Championship in Kuala Lumpur 2017. In 2018, he took the lead for the Klang Valley Elite team. In 2019, he was introduced as the head coach for Perlis FA Youth Cup (U-19) squad, but the club later relegated from the Malaysian Football League due to financial problems.[3] He continued his career as head coach of Penang FA President's Cup (U-21).[4] However, the President's Cup tournament was suspended after four matches due to the COVID-19 pandemic, where Penang FA finished in the third place sharing 10 points with the top 2 teams.[5]

In March 2021, Wan Rohaimi was appointed as the head coach of PDRM FC in the Malaysia Premier League after five matches had already been played.[6] During the 2021 season, he brought the club to a safe place from relegation, going on a seven-game unbeaten run since he took over the team in early April 2021. On 4 September 2022, it was announced that PDRM FC had parted ways with Wan Rohaimi.[7]

In 2023, he was appointed to lead the Kuala Lumpur City F.C. U-23 for the Reserve League team that would be held under Malaysian Football League.[8] Continuing into the 2024 season, he was promoted to the senior team as assistant head coach under Miroslav Kuljanac. On 14 November 2024, Kuala Lumpur City F.C. announced the departure of Wan Rohaimi from the club after eight months working with the senior team.[9] Later that day, Penang FC announced that Wan Rohaimi would return as the new head coach, taking charge of the Panthers until the end of the season.[10]

Managerial method

[edit]

Wan Rohaimi has developed a modern football pattern. In 2019, he introduced the WR Notebook for coaches to take note and make plans about football. He later released the WR Session Plan which provides examples of football training plans along with detailed descriptions. This was followed by his third book, Coaching Process, which outlines the steps to becoming a coach. He then published Teknik Asas Bolasepak, aimed at helping football players understand the basic techniques and concepts of the game.
