Coach Park makes a surprise comeback with Thai football.

GD&TĐ - Coach Park Hang-seo unexpectedly returned to coaching at the age of 68 with the task of leading Kanchanaburi FC to promotion to Thai League 1.

The South Korean coach has officially returned to the dugout after a long absence. His destination this time is Kanchanaburi FC in the Thai League 2 of Thai football.

Kanchanaburi FC officially announced Park Hang-seo as their new head coach on the afternoon of May 25th. The contract between the two parties is for two years, with the main goal being to bring the club back to Thai League 1.

This marks a significant turning point in Coach Park Hang-seo's career. Since leaving the Vietnamese national teams in early 2023, he has primarily taken on managerial and advisory roles, rarely appearing on the coaching bench.

Kanchanaburi FC announced the signing of coach Park Hang-seo on a two-year contract on the afternoon of May 25th.

He currently remains the Vice President of the Korea Football Association (KFA), in charge of national teams, and also has a senior advisory contract with Bac Ninh FC.

Because he still has work to do with the Korean Football Association and the Korean national team in preparation for the FIFA World Cup 2026, Park Hang-seo has not immediately taken over Kanchanaburi FC.

Sources indicate that coach Park is expected to officially begin his work in Thailand at the end of July, and during this time, assistant coach Lee Jung-soo will temporarily manage the team.

Kanchanaburi FC makes no secret of its ambition to "get back up where it fell." The team recently dropped to Thai League 2 and needs a strong boost to return to the top division of Thai football. Therefore, inviting coach Park Hang-seo is not just a professional choice, but also a message about their ambition to rebuild.

Kanchanaburi FC's new coaching staff also bears the mark of South Korea. In addition to head coach Park Hang-seo, the coaching staff includes assistant coach Lee Jung-soo, fitness coach Roh Yeong-su, along with Thai assistant coaches Phanupong Wongsa, Phunarai Phansiri, and goalkeeping coach Narathip Phanphrom.
