When Dollah joined Selangor in 1987, a new twin striker was born after the era of Hassan Sani and James Wong.

In 1991, he left Selangor to join Pahang with Zainal and Singapore football star Fandi Ahmad where they created a 'dream team', winning both the league and Malaysia Cup in 1992.

Dollah also played in the first edition of ASEAN Football Championship, where the national team reached the final of the competition but lost 0–1 to Thailand.

[7] The same year he guided the team to become the first-ever club to win the Malaysia Cup by beating Sabah 3–0.

[3] After successfully helping Pahang lift its first Malaysia Cup in 21 years, Dollah signed on to coach PDRM for the 2014 season in the Malaysian second-tier league.

Dollah was appointed as the new head coach of Malaysia national team in June 2014, signing a 2-year contract.

However, he received much criticism as he was responsible for twin 0–6 defeats at the hands of Palestine and Oman, and the team's failure to get three points against Timor Leste, Bangladesh and Hong Kong, and losing to Tajikistan and Syria that were once at the same standard as Malaysia earlier in 2014.
