The announcement was announced through a media statement by the Crown Prince of Johor, DYAM Major General Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim.
“I would like to thank Luciano Figueroa for his services to the club as a player, ambassador and manager from 2014-2020. While we are sad to see a legend leave, I understand Figueroa’s decision to return to Argentina due to family matters,” he said.
Thank you for the 43 goals and 14 assists in 71 games. Thank you for the four Malaysia Super League titles, three Charity Cups, the 2019 Malaysia Cup and last but not least, the coveted 2015 AFC Cup. See you again, my friend,” added the Crown Prince of Johor.
The statement was also confirmed by Luciano himself on his Instagram page.

“I’d like to thank the Crown Prince of Johor, Johor Darul Ta’zim FC and the fans for the excellent support I’ve had both as a player and manager. I leave with very fond memories and I was deeply touched by the gesture of naming a stand at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium after me, “he added.
“It has been a wonderful journey, winning multiple trophies and making countless new friends that I now call family,” Luciano continued.
“All the best JDT and may our paths cross again in the future,” he said.
