As a top-invested club in the 2019 Thai League with the ambition to win the championship, goalkeeper Van Lam's Muangthong United had a bad start with 2 consecutive losses.
Coach Pairoj was heavily criticized, many Thai newspapers thought that this coach was too conservative and perfectionist, causing Muangthong United to not be able to fully develop his abilities despite possessing many high-class stars. Meanwhile, the team's fans called on the Board of Directors to fire Coach Pairoj, and at the same time invited legend Kiatisak to replace him.
Despite the fans' requests, Muangthong United's Board of Directors decided to still put their trust in Coach Pairoj during this period. In the latest announcement, Muangthong said he had not thought about any changes on the coaching bench.
Muangthong United Associate Professor Karn Jantarat affirmed: "Mr. Pairoj will continue to be the head coach of Muangthong Unitd and there will be no changes. Our playing style is still good but we just don't finish well.
It is too early to say anything now that the season is only in the early stages. Accidents can happen at any time. However, we believe that we can win the championship when the season ends," said Mr. Karn Jantarat.
In the next match, Muangthong United will host Chiangmai on March 9, which is considered a good opportunity for Dang Van Lam and his teammates to win the first 3 points in the 2019 Thai League.
