Will coach Park Hang-seo lead a Southeast Asian team?

In a recent interview with Korean media outlet KBS, coach Park Hang Seo shared his plans to lead a new team in Southeast Asia.

“First of all, I have to say that I will not return to the Korean football field. Right now, I am focusing on training young football players in Vietnam. However, I also want to try my hand in another country if I have the opportunity” -Coach Park Hang-seoemphasized in the interview.

Sources from South Korea and China say that coach Park Hang Seo may take on the position of coach of the Singapore national team. The country's football federation is said to have sent an offer to the South Korean coach.

However, he was cautious when talking about choosing a new destination: “My representative is indeed negotiating with a number of places. But it is probably still early for me to make a final decision. At this time, I can only say that they are still continuing negotiations and the result must be based on the most suitable conditions.”

Football teams in Southeast Asia such as Ho Chi Minh City Club, Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore are all rumored to be interested in coach Park Hang-seo.

However, until now, there has been no official information about the new destination of this famous strategist.

Korean media highly appreciate the possibility that coach Park Hang-seo will return to coach in Southeast Asia, and teams in the region are waiting for an official decision from this talented strategist.

Madam Pang competes with transgender politician for Thai Football Federation presidency

In January 2024, the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) held a congress to elect a new president and the female head of the Thai national team - businesswoman Nualpham Lamsam (Madam Pang) is competing for the seat with many important figures, especially heavyweight opponent Pauline Ngarmpring, 49 years old.

In the football world, Madam Pang's "foundation" to compete for the FAT presidency is very solid, however her opponent is a talented politician who ran for the Thai Prime Minister position in the election last July.

In Thailand, Pauline Ngarmpring is very famous and is recognized as the first transgender politician in the history of Thai Prime Ministerial candidates. Ngarmpring is also an “ambassador” for the third gender community (LGTB).

Before his sex change, Ngarmpring was a man, and he was always invited by the major parties in Thailand to join their party. Ngarmpring said: “When I was a man, I was invited by the major parties in Thailand, but I did not choose any party. After my sex change, I worked hard to bring equality to the third gender in Thailand. As a woman, I felt that everything was very favorable for me, because I was able to express my true nature, without having to hide anything.”

Ngarmpring also believes that people will support her in the competition for the FAT presidency early next year.

Who will win, wealthy businesswoman Madam Pang or transgender politician Pauline Ngarmpring? Let's wait for the FAT Congress in early 2024.
