After 3 years of leading HAGL Club, Coach Kiatisuk has officially said goodbye to the mountain town team. At the HAGL Club's training ground on the afternoon of January 10, the Thai coach expressed to the team members: "This is my last training session with you, it is an honor for me to work with all of you."

Coach Kiatisuk will leave HAGL for Hanoi, take on a new assignment and begin a new "adventure" as head coach of CAHN Club.

Regarding LPBank HAGL Club, on his personal page, CEO Nguyen Tan Anh shared: "Wishing Zico (coach Kiatisuk's nickname) success in the upcoming journey with the CAHN team."

For Kiatisuk, HAGL brought him so many memories. Mr. Kiatisuk worked for Mr. Duc's team in 3 periods. The first period was from 2002-2006, when "Thai Zico" was still a player.

At that time, Coach Kiatisuk made a great contribution to help HAGL go from the First Division to the V-League, then win the V-League in 2003 and 2004. In 2006, Kiatisuk became a coach and player of HAGL.

In the second phase in 2010, Kiatisuk became the coach of HAGL Club but only for a short time.

The third phase is from the beginning of 2021 until now, Kiatisuk returned to HAGL as head coach. He helped the mountain town team lead the V-League 2021 but HAGL was not recognized as the champion at that time because the tournament was suspended midway due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In addition to his professional value, Coach Kiatisuk also helps HAGL a lot in terms of commerce. At least two very big sponsors from Thailand signed a sponsorship contract with HAGL because this team has Kiatisuk - the leading idol of Thai football.

Coming to the new team CAHN Club, the expectation for Coach Kiatisuk is still very high. The current V-League champion team hopes that the Thai coach will help the club innovate, play more stably than under Coach Gong Oh Kyun, and return to the championship race.
