Nicknamed “Tum,” the experienced A-licensed coach joins the club from Trang FC. A former Air Force United player, coach Tum brings a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record to PAFC, who are currently grounded at the bottom of the league after three losses and one draw from their opening four games of the season.
The club is eager to leave behind a turbulent period that saw the departure of former coach “Coach Go” amidst controversy and public accusations aimed at the club’s ownership on Oct 6. Now, with coach Tum at the helm, they are determined to shift focus back to the pitch and begin their ascent up the league table.
But “Major Tum” will have a rapid countdown to his first mission. The club faces a critical week with a home game against Pattani FC tomorrow (Oct 16) followed by an away fixture against his former club, Trang FC, on Sunday (Oct 20). Securing points in both games will be vital for PAFC as they aim to escape the gravitational pull of the relegation zone.
PAFC fans will be hoping that coach Tum’s arrival will bring a renewed sense of stability and inject much-needed rocket fuel into the team’s performance as they head into this crucial phase of the season.
Will he be the man to guide them back to orbit? Only time will tell.
