Meet The Coaches

Mak Fatt Soon

Director and Coach

A former professional football player from Argentina, Luis trained under the legendary Diego Maradona and developed his career with several first-division clubs in Argentina, including San Lorenzo, Nueva Chicago, and Estudiantes. He later expanded his experience to Europe, joining Dundee United in Scotland.

At the age of 29, Luis brought his talent to Malaysia, playing for notable local teams such as Penang FA and Kelantan FC. After retiring from professional play, he continued his football journey on the sidelines — taking on coaching roles with USM Penang, Public Bank Super League, and the Malacca State Team, where he led his teams to championship titles in both leagues.

Today, Luis serves as the Director and Head Coach of Kuala Lumpur Youth Soccer (KLYS) — a respected academy that unites children from around the world through football, teamwork, and character development.

"KLYS was probably where I learned everything, either in football or in life. I learned how to be a man through out the years, the coaches are amazing aswell. They helped me progress real quick. It's thanks to KLYS that I am where I am now."

Keep playing great football and listen to the coaches. They really know what they're doing and make the best mentors you could ever ask for. Forever KLYS "

"Coming from a person who has played football almost all his life, I can tell you that there has been no better experience than being part of the KLYS family. And the reason is much deeper than our success on the pitch. I was taught many valuable lessons, made lifelong friends along the way and learned the true meaning of being in a team. It is very humbling to have witnessed how much the club has grown since it first began, and it will continue to become bigger and better thanks to all the people who make it happen. If you are new to the club, stay motivated and committed to your coaches and team mates and you will soon realise that it is the BEST football club in Malaysia. I can safely say that I miss the good old days."

- Carlos Villa

"KLYS is definitely not your average football academy in Malaysia. Throughout my 5 years there has not been a training session that I’d say that I’ve not gained anything from. Training sessions have always been what I’d look forward to the most during the week. KLYS has always been a family club, not just from the way that parents are so closely involved but from the way your team-mates and the coaches treat and respect each and every player. The skills I have gained during my time on the immaculate fields of Kelab Aman have not only benefitted me on the field but it has also taught me responsibility and leadership skills, hence translating into results in the classroom. My time here has been a remarkable experience and is impossible to put into words.

You only ever realize how much you miss the sessions, training ground banter and the camaraderie until you’re no longer there. KLYS will always mean more than just a football club to me; it’s a family. #ForeverKLYS."
