Datuk Chandran Mutveeran, popularly known as M. Chandran (4 May 1942 – 28 September 2019), was a Malaysian footballer.[3] [4]

Playing and coaching career

As a player, he mainly played for Selangor FA, winning trophies for his team and establishing himself as the playmaker.[5] [6] He together with the late Abdul Ghani Minhat also helped Selangor to become runners-up in the 1967 Asian Champion Club Tournament.[7]

As a member of Malaysia national team, he competed in the men's tournament at the 1972 Summer Olympics and featured in all three group matches.[8] [9] [10] [11]

After retiring, he coached Selangor and Malaysia. On 11 May 1975, M.Chandran led Malaysia Selection against Arsenal FC in a friendly match. Spearheaded by Mokhtar Dahari up front, the selection team embarrassed Arsenal by 2-0 at Merdeka Stadium.[12] [13]

M. Chandran was awarded with Datuk title by Sultan of Pahang in 2000 (who was coincidentally the President of Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) at that time) for his contributions to Malaysian football.

In 2006, he suffered a stroke but kept active as a coach and was on the FAM technical committee at various points.[14]

On 17 September 2014, FourFourTwo included him on their list of the top 25 Malaysian footballers of all time.[15] [16]
