Rajagopal''', (Rajagopal Krishnasamy) (Tamil: கி.ராஜகோபால்; born July 10, 1956) is a [[Malaysia]]n [[Association football|football]] [[Manager (football)|manager]] and former professional player. He is currently the head coach of [[Malaysia national football team|Malaysia]] and former [[Malaysia national under-23 football team|Under-23 Malaysia]] coach.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://web6.bernama.com/bernama/v3/news_lite.php?id=553520|title=MIC Chief Calls For Award For National Football Coach|accessdate=2 July 2011|date=30 December 2010|publisher=Bernama.com}}</ref> Rajagopal has also appeared as a football [[pundit (expert)|pundit]] for Malaysian satellite television network [[Astro (Malaysian satellite television)|Astro]], including the first episode in August 2009 of the [[FourFourTwo TV Show]]. ==Career== ===As manager=== Rajagopal started his coaching career in 1990 with [[PKNS FC]]. He also had stints as club coach with [[Selangor FA]] and [[Kelantan FA]]. He was made the national coach for the young [[Malaysia national under-20 football team|Malaysia U-20]] team from 2004 until 2006; and the Malaysian U-19 (known as [[Harimau Muda A]]) in 2007 to 2009. Under his guidance, Harimau Muda A became the [[Premier League Malaysia|Premier League]] champion in 2009. Since July 2009, he is the head coach for both the [[Malaysian national football team|Malaysian national]] and the [[Malaysia national under-23 football team|Malaysian U-23]] squad. Rajagopal is best known for guiding Malaysia's Under-23 side to its first gold medal in 20 years at the 2009 [[Southeast Asian Games]] in Laos where the team defeated Vietnam 1–0 in the final on December 17 after earlier knocking out 8-time defending champions, Thailand, in the group stage. After the victory, Rajagopal earned the nickname "King Gopal". In July 2009, Rajagopal coached Malaysia in two games against English champions, [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]], losing in both matches 2–3 and 0–2. He also led Malaysia national football team to win the [[ASEAN Football Championship|AFF Suzuki Cup]] in 2010. His philosophy of changing the tactical approach from a defensive to offensive playing style has been rewarded. His young team has shown a high standard of football possession, good defensive structure and clinical finish en route to clinch the AFF Suzuki Cup although his side lost their main charismatic and influential defender (Aidil Zafuan)and many more potential young players. He put down his career on 20 November 2013 as he fails to manage Malaysia's Under-23 from being qualified in the Asian Cup after he failed to conduct Malaysia's team in grouping preliminary.He had made many experiments on Malaysia' team that led to failure. == Awards and recognition == On June 4, 2011, K.

– It does not appear that, as far as the English-speaking world is concerned or anywhere beyond Malaysia, the Malaysian football manager is held in such high regard that his prominence exceeds the combined notability of Singaporean film director and screenwriter K. Rajagopal (director), Indian educator Kuderu Rajagopal and award-winning K. Rajagopal (film editor). — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:38, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support move to K. Rajagopal (footballer) as is standard for managers who were initially players. Giant Snowman 11:25, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As nominator, I would also support K. Rajagopal (footballer), per GiantSnowman. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 20:48, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support to footballer as discussed. Note that the closing admin will need to fix the 143 incoming links, even though such fixes do not require the admin bit. -- JHunterJ (talk) 00:42, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
