According to him, the decision to make the drastic change was for the good of the team.
“The joint decision by the coaches and management team to bring in Gnabouyou was in the interest of the team and it was better to make the drastic measure when there was still an opportunity to do so.
“I hope with him in the team will help to strengthen our attacks which was rather weak as seen in the past few matches,” he said.
Hector who had scored 14 goals from 18 appearances for Sabah in the 2018 season failed to make an impression since his return to the team during the pre-season.
