Aidil Sharin became the first Singaporean head coach to manage a non-Singaporean team in the AFC Champions League when he guided Kedah into the 2020 AFC Champions League qualifying play-offs round which they thrash Hong Kong club, Tai Po 5-1 in the preliminary round 2 and thus seeing them advance to face FC Seoul in the play-off round which subsequently ended up as a 4-1 defeat at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.[12]

On 17 October 2022, it was announced that Kedah Darul Aman had parted ways with Aidil Sharin.[13] Aidil Sharin departed Kedah Darul Aman with a record of 55 wins, 20 draws, and 35 defeats in 110 games with a win percentage of 50%.

On 7 January 2023, Aidil was announced as the new head coach of Indonesian Liga 1 team, Persikabo 1973 on an initial 5 month contract.[15][16] He is the first Singaporean to coach an Indonesian team since Fandi Ahmad coached Pelita Jaya from 2006 to 2010.

Aidin Sharin leaves the club by mutual agreement, on 23 July 2023, citing family matters as the reason for his departure.[17][18]
