Negeri Sembilan FC Chief Executive Officer, Faliq Firdaus, has acknowledged the team’s current challenges but assured supporters that strategic reinforcements will be made during the upcoming January transfer window.

“I can’t comment on tactical matters as that’s the prerogative of the head coach. But obviously, it’s not working as we hoped. What’s certain is that we will invest in new players when the window opens,” he said in a post addressing the team’s performance.

Faliq admitted that the absence of key players such as Wai Lin Aung and Luis Enrique due to injuries has left visible gaps in the squad, emphasizing that depth remains an issue.

He also took the opportunity to express gratitude to the loyal supporters, Sekalian Yang Setia, promising that changes are on the way.

“We truly appreciate the unwavering support from our fans, and that’s why we are determined to make key improvements in the next window,” he added.

Despite the challenges, Faliq stressed that the club’s journey is far from over and reminded fans that progress takes time.

“This is a marathon, not a sprint. Coach Nidzam Jamil and I have always agreed that this project is about long-term growth. We’ve come a long way from finishing second-last two seasons ago to achieving much better results last season.”

“I accept all criticism because it’s part of the job. The process can be painful, but we guarantee that we’ll continue to improve from time to time,” he said.

Faliq concluded by reaffirming his commitment to elevating the club’s position.

“We’ve seen how the team performed last season, and I certainly don’t want us to be in the same position this year.”
