Hairuddin Bin Omar (born 29 September 1979) also known as Hai-O is a Malaysian former international football player. He spent most of his career as a forward, but can also play as a midfielder.

His career as a coach began when he became the assistant coach of the Malaysia U-19 under Bojan Hodak. He has successfully helped Bojan lead the Malaysia U-19 to become the runner-up of the AFF U-19 Championship 2017 and the champion the following year. In 2022, he was appointed as an assistant coach of Terengganu FC under the management of Nafuzi Zain, and he also managed to help Terengganu become runner-up in the 2022 Malaysia FA Cup and second in the league. In the following year, he was appointed head coach of Terengganu II F.C., who are currently playing in the MFL Cup.

Club career

[edit]

Born and raised in Setiu, 70 kilometres from Kuala Terengganu, Hairuddin began his football career with Terengganu and made his professional season debut playing for Terengganu in 1999.[3] He helped his team win the Malaysia Cup in 2001. After 4 seasons playing for his hometown team, he signed a contract with Pahang in 2003.

Hairuddin was part of the Pahang team that won the 2004 Malaysia Super League title and later clinched the Malaysia FA Cup title in 2006. After 6 years of spending his career with Pahang, Hairuddin returned to his hometown and signed a contract with a Kuala Terengganu-based football club, T-Team. During the Malaysia Cup campaign in 2009, he was loaned to Negeri Sembilan until the end of the Malaysia Cup campaign. On 7 November 2009, Negeri Sembilan secured the 2009 Malaysia Cup title in a 1–3 win over Kelantan and scored 1 goal in that match.

In 2010, Hairuddin signed a one-year contract with Kelantan. While playing for the team, he won the 2010 Malaysia Cup and scored 1 goal in a 2–1 win in the final against Negeri Sembilan on 30 October 2010 at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium.[4]

After his contract with Kelantan ended, Hairuddin signed a one-year contract with Negeri Sembilan in 2011. He made 19 appearances and 4 goals in the league campaign. During the 2011 Malaysia Cup, Hairuddin scored 8 goals to claim the tournament's golden boot, including the winning goal in a 2–1 win over Terengganu in the final.[5] That was Hairuddin's third straight Malaysia Cup title since 2009.[6]

In 2012, Hairuddin signed a contract with Malaysian Armed Forces for the 2012 Malaysia Premier League season and was appointed as the captain of the team. Hairuddin spent 4 years with the club before leaving for Terengganu in 2016. While playing for Armed Forces, Hairuddin led the team into winning the 2012 Malaysia Premier League title, 2012 Malaysia Cup title and won the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Cup in 2013.[7][8]

Hairuddin returned to Terengganu in 2016 after he refused to extend his contract with Armed Forces for another year. He signed a one-year contract with the team.[9]

In February 2017, Hairuddin announced his retirement at club and international level.[10]

On 4 January 2020, Hairuddin came out from his retirement to play for a social football club, U.C Viching. He provided an assist despite losing 3-1 in that match.

Since 2013, Hairuddin is also the president of the Professional Footballers Association of Malaysia.[11]

International career

[edit]

Hairuddin earned 54 caps, scoring 13 goals for the Malaysia national team from 2000 to 2009.[12] He represented Malaysia at 3 AFF Championship in 2002, 2007 and 2008, 2007 Asian Cup and also 2001 Southeast Asian Games and 2002 Asian Games for the national under 23 team.

On 25 July 2003, Hairuddin earned the distinction of scoring Malaysia's solitary goal in the 4–1 defeat to Chelsea in FA Premier League Asia Cup 2003, an invitational tournament in 2003. Then he out-jumped England international John Terry to nod the ball home off a swerving corner kick from his Terengganu teammate, Rosdi Talib, four minutes after Frank Lampard had opened the scoring in the 36th minute.[13][14] It was as a result of a well-worked set-piece the boys managed to translate into the game, giving the nation the first goal against an English opponent since Matlan Marjan's double against England at Merdeka Stadium in 1991.[citation needed]

Managerial career

[edit]

In August 2017, Hairuddin was appointed as the Malaysia national under-19 team assistant head coach working along with Bojan Hodak.[1][15]
