"Khetpong Kulnathsiri" hopes the team will break their winless streak at home against "Ayutthaya United" and is rushing to find a new head coach before the end of the month.
On 12 Feb 2026 GMT+7, Sukhothai FC, nicknamed the "Fire Bats," is set to play their 20th match of the BYD C-League 2025-26 season, hosting "Ayothaya Warriors" Ayutthaya United on Saturday, 14 Feb 2026 GMT+7 at 18:30 at the Thalay Luang Stadium.
"Sia Khet," Khetpong Kulnathsiri, Sukhothai FC's team manager, stated that for this home game, they want 3 points to accelerate their escape from the relegation zone as much as possible. From now on, every home game will be focused on securing maximum points.
"This year's situation hasn't been good; we've scored only one goal so far. Both myself and the club president have been talking, holding meetings, and closely monitoring training sessions to find solutions. The players and staff remain motivated and are determined to improve our performance."
"As for team management, "Coach Gale" Ratthee Ueathanaipaisan, the assistant coach, is still in temporary charge. Regarding the search for a new head coach, by regulation, we have until the end of February. We've contacted and spoken with several coaches but have not reached a conclusion yet. The new head coach can be Thai or foreign but must have sufficient knowledge of Thai football—including players and the nature of the game here—and be committed to developing the team. If the new coach is Thai, adaptation may be easier."
