He had less achievement during his tenure as player. Though he could have gone for Olympics in 1982, but due to boycott, the team didn't participate.
If Idris Jala was a transformer for Malaysia Airlines, K.Rajagobal is the "Idris Jala" of football. When Selangor was in deep shit in year 1999, he came into the team and made them to gain promotion back to Division 1. But Selangor team sacked him.
Following year, he went to Kelantan and did the repeat the same achievement in Selangor. However, he was smart that he took the national job after that.
Now he achieved something which no other coaches would have achieved it by winning both Sea Games and AFF Cup.
For the last 20 years, there were so many foreign coaches in the National team, but no one could even come close compared to him.
As he says, "You have to be patient to see the success".

He is also the down fall of Malaysian Football due to his arrogance.
