Coaching Conflict at Phutthirangsi Phibun School Resolved Following Director's Transfer

Coach Sakol Kliangprasert confirms he will continue leading the Phutthirangsi Phibun football team after the school director was transferred following internal policy disagreements.

According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, football coach Sakol Kliangprasert has addressed the recent administrative changes at Phutthirangsi Phibun School. The school director, who had been in conflict with the coach regarding the management and direction of the school's football program, has been transferred to the local educational district office.

Coach Sakol, known for his success in the 7-a-side football circuit, stated that the friction stemmed from differing philosophies. While the coach relied on support from fans and private backers to develop the team, he alleged that the former director attempted to exert excessive control over non-academic operations. The coach noted that the transfer was a necessary step to allow the team to continue its development without internal interference. He emphasized that his primary goal is to serve the fans and the students rather than satisfy individual administrative agendas.

For residents and followers of local youth sports, this development suggests a period of stability for the team as they prepare for upcoming competitions, including the 7-a-side football tournament. While the coach expects smoother operations under new leadership, it remains to be confirmed who will be appointed as the permanent replacement and how the school’s future administrative policies will align with the team's current independent funding model.
