It's quite unbelievable news that Coach Sakol Kliangprasert has parted ways with Mongthong Wittaya School.
This has become a hot topic that all media have expanded into a major "drama" story.
It even led to clear divisions among fans and supporters.
Everyone is busy supporting one side or the other.
In reality, however, this kind of change is very common at all levels of football worldwide.
Such transitions happen all the time and are perfectly normal.
What made this issue viral is that both Coach Sakol and the young players of Mongthong have become celebrities,
drawing wide public attention in society.
Consequently, all the fuss we’ve seen has followed naturally.
In any case, the separation that occurred,
if we don’t let emotions cloud our judgment and lead to excessive personal bias,
we will see the positive aspects benefiting everyone involved.
More so than the negative sides that prompt mudslinging.
Especially the good things that will come for youth development and the youth football scene in our country,
which is now gaining nationwide attention.
This is due to the "dream bus" fever that Coach Sakol has built with his Mongthong players since last year.
When the football philosophies of the team owner and the coach no longer align,
the best solution is simply for each to go their separate ways to find what suits them best.
Coach Sakol’s hot reputation means wherever he moves, he will be warmly welcomed.
Particularly his new base at Phutthirangsee Phibun School in Ban Pho District, still in Chachoengsao like Mongthong — a very lucky match.
From now on, wherever they compete, there is no need for much promotion because everyone wants to follow Coach Sakol’s work.
A top-tier youth coach like him can always turn raw talent into stars anywhere.
So it’s certain that from the "dream bus" legend to the "watermelon bus,"
he will continue to have a large fan base supporting him every day.
Meanwhile, Mongthong School has appointed a new coach, "Coach Joon" Anurak Srikerd,
whose style and football development approach may differ completely from Coach Sakol’s.
But his qualifications and dedication are just as strong.
Importantly, Coach Joon may bring professional football training methods
to further enhance the "Celtic Bang Nam Priao" players even more effectively.
Similarly, the star player "Jao Tae" Warakorn Changkhian Dee
faced heavy criticism after not following Coach Sakol to the new school.
He has clearly explained and closed the matter.
He is finishing his senior high school studies this year and must prioritize his educational future.
There was no conflict or coercion; he still respects Coach Sakol as before.
As for the coach’s comments about Jao Tae, I won’t elaborate much,
understanding his current feelings that he is likely not very happy.
But both the student and the lifelong coach will ultimately understand each other’s paths.
As football fans and supporters, we wish all parties well and hope they encounter only good things.
Just as they have together created unprecedented legendary success before.
From now on, we await the big city derby "Mongthong Wittaya" versus "Phutthirangsee Phibun".
Wherever and whenever they meet, it promises to be an explosive encounter.
