==Warriors FC==
First taking the reins of [[Warriors FC]] in 2015 right before the end of the season, he was in charge of them for five games. Calculated in total, he lost three, won one, and drew one despite winning the first game, a 2–0 victory over [[Hougang United]].<ref name="fourfourtwo">{{cite web |url=https://www.fourfourtwo.com/sg/features/razif-right-man-warriors-fc |title=Is Razif the right man for Warriors FC? {{!}} FourFourTwo |website=www.fourfourtwo.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161031094547/http://www.fourfourtwo.com/sg/features/razif-right-man-warriors-fc |archive-date=2016-10-31}}</ref> In the end, they finished fifth and the youth coach asseverated that it was unequivocally 'unacceptable' for a club like Warriors FC. On their last fixture, [[Geylang International]] beat them 6–0 as well.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://sleague.com/news-features/news/2015/november/razif-fifth-is-unacceptable-for-warriors/ |title=S.League.com - Razif: Fifth is Unacceptable for Warriors |access-date=2017-09-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170902232803/http://sleague.com/news-features/news/2015/november/razif-fifth-is-unacceptable-for-warriors/ |archive-date=2017-09-02 |url-status=usurped }}</ref>
After [[Jörg Steinebrunner]]'s unheralded departure in May 2016, Onn was appointed coach of Warriors FC; there was already speculation about Onn's return anyway.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.straitstimes.com/sport/football/football-razif-in-frame-for-warriors-top-job|title=Football: Razif in frame for Warriors' top job|newspaper=The Straits Times|date=16 May 2016|last1=Panditurai|first1=Yogaraj}}</ref> His first match would be a round 13 clash opposing [[Tampines Rovers]];<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tnp.straitstimes.com/sports/singapore-football/razifs-ready-warriors-baptism-fire|title=Razif's ready for Warriors baptism of fire|date=17 May 2016}}</ref> he managed to hold them to a scoreless draw.<ref name="fourfourtwo"/> Unlike his predecessor, he managed to get 18 points from 13 matches,<ref name="fourfourtwo"/> and recorded only one defeat in his first five games in charge which signified an improvement.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.straitstimes.com/sport/football/onn-wards-and-upwards-for-warriors-since-jorg-sacking|title=Onn-wards and upwards for Warriors since Jorg sacking|newspaper=The Straits Times|date=4 August 2016}}</ref>
However, he lost all his cup matches in 2016 by exiting the [[Singapore Cup]] and losing three times in the [[Singapore League Cup|League Cup]].<ref name="fourfourtwo"/>
In the 2017 season, he improved well in terms of the Warriors FC style of play bringing back the lights of [[Shahril Ishak]] and [[Baihakki Khaizan]]. He finished the season 5th as a first full season manager at Warriors FC. At the end of the season, Razif were reassigned as Warriors FC head of youth development, the head coach position later taken by [[Mirko Grabovac]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.straitstimes.com/sport/football/grabovac-returns-as-warriors-coach|title = Grabovac returns as Warriors coach|newspaper = The Straits Times|date = 4 January 2018|last1 = Lee|first1 = David}}</ref>
