Peter Reid to coach Thai football team

Football Association of Thailand (FAT) has decided to send the national team to take part in the four-team tournament in Hanoi where they will face hosts Vietnam, New Zealand and a European side yet to be determined, said Ong-art Kosinkha, secretary-general of FAT. Ong-art also revealed that the King’s Cup in Bangkok, which was originally scheduled for November, has been postponed indefinitely.

For the Agribank Cup in Hanoi, the team will be coached by former England international Peter Reid. It will be Reid’s first assignment as Thailand’s coach with former Thailand captain Tawan Sripan his assistant. Reid will call 30 players for training after the Thailand Premier Leauge ends next month. The squad will also be for the AFF Suzuki Cup (the Asean Championship) in December.
