Norizan Bakar

Norizan bin Bakar (born 27 January 1961 in Kampung Datuk Kaya Man, Perlis) is a former Malaysian football player.

Early in his reign, the Malaysia U-23 squad achieved Manila 2005 SEA Games bronze medal, and the senior team also emerges as ASEAN Football Championship semifinalists in 2007.

Although the team ended the league at an improved 4th place, he had criticism from the fans over his tactics and players chosen, in particular import striker Lazar Popovic who only scored once in 14 matches.

A heavy 6–0 defeat by Kelantan FA on 7 July in the league seals Norizan's fate,[8] Perak relieved him of his duties soon after, his job taken over by his assistant Chong Yee Fat for the remainder of the league games,[9] and Jang Jung for the season-ending 2012 Malaysia Cup competition.

The nickname (Cikgu meaning 'Teacher' in Malay, and Jan is a diminutive form of Norizan), stems from his background as a former school teacher.
