The Thai national team has ended its journey at the 2023 Asian Cup, stopping at the round of 16 (losing 1-2 to Uzbekistan). After this campaign, the "war elephants" will also say goodbye to a special member of the team. According to Siamsport , Madam Pang will officially resign as head of the Thai national team after nearly 2 and a half years of association.
Previously, the Thai billionaire took on the role of head of delegation at the Golden Temple country's football team since August 2021.
Madam Pang (right) will focus on preparing for the election campaign for the position of FAT President.
The reason Madam Pang left the position of head of the “war elephant” team is said to be because she wants to devote all her energy to preparing for the election for the position of President of the Football Association of Thailand (FAT), which will start on February 8. Currently, this female billionaire is a very prestigious face and is considered the number one candidate for the position of head of football in the land of golden pagodas.
During her time as head of the delegation, Madam Pang and the Thai team won the Southeast Asian championship twice in a row, at the AFF Cup 2020 (held at the end of 2021) and the AFF Cup 2022. This female billionaire has experienced two generations of coaches for the "war elephants", respectively Mr. Mano Polking (appointed since September 2021) and most recently Mr. Masatada Ishii (since December 2023).
Madam Pang is very close to the Thai players. This female billionaire also spends a lot of money on the Thai football team.
Siamsport newspaper commented: “Madam Pang is the one who raised the spirit of Thai players. She contributed to the success of the team and created joy for Thai football fans.”
According to a Thai newspaper, Madam Pang has spent a total of 55.85 million baht (about 40 billion VND) on the Thai team in more than 2 years. The above amount does not include other material expenses that this billionaire has spent, including stadiums, accommodation, travel, etc. for the members of the "war elephants".
