HKFA technical director John Morling quits for UAE role

John Morling has quit his post as technical director of The Football Association of Hong Kong, China. He recently signed a new two-year deal with the HKFA but has now left for a job in the United Arab Emirates. The Englishman is joining a UAE football project aimed at ending the country's four-decade wait to reach a World Cup finals. His exit is a significant blow to Hong Kong football.
