Mohd Azraai Khor bin Abdullah (born 25 October 1952) is a Malaysian football coach and former Kedah FA player and captain, also referred to as Azraai. A former Malaysian national team player is currently a head coach of the most outstanding team in Malaysian League, Kedah FA, also as known as The Canaries and Hijau Kuning. Azraai, whom one of the most successful coach in Malaysia now, has been head coach of Kedah FA since August 2004. He has previously managed TNB FC (Kelantan) from 2002 until 2004. However, his glorious career began eighteen years ago when he was just an up and coming tactician, assisting Robert Rene Alberts to create history with a bunch of players from the second division in 1992 to clean sweep of the domestic football titles in 1993 – Division 1 (the now renamed Malaysian Super League) and Malaysia Cup.
With his fantastic "Midas touch", he gave a miracle for Kedah after they've been dropped to the last place in 2004 Malaysian Super League competition, where Kedah on that time handled by Miradinha. After Miradinha left the job, a former national player, Azraai has created the unpredictable achievements in Malaysia Cup competition when he led Kedah through to the 2004 Final, but they lost 1-0 against Perlis FA.
Azraai now became the only coach, to win treble champions in successive 2006-07 season. After he clinched the third cup in Malaysian football arena, coach Azraai also regarded the 2006-07 Malaysian Favourite Coach Award in 100Plus-F.A.M National Football Awards as an additional motivation after his team won three titles - Malaysian FA Cup, Malaysian Super League, and Malaysia Cup in 2006/2007 season and also as a boost for the future of football in Kedah and in the country.
