On the afternoon of October 21, the Thai press simultaneously reported that FAT officially fired head coach Masatada Ishii (58 years old). The reason was that the Japanese strategist's working style and team management methods were considered unsuitable for the Thai team.
This decision of FAT has caused a stir in Thai public opinion, creating many different opinions. While many people are confused by this decision of FAT, many also think that FAT was right to fire the Japanese coach.
Thairath newspaper reported that Thai football fans have protested and heavily criticized the FAT's way of working. Many did not hesitate to visit Piyapong Pue-on's (committee member) personal page to ask about the reason for Mr. Ishii's dismissal.
Most fans believe that the Japanese strategist has successfully led the "war elephants". He helped the Thai team rise from 113th to 96th in the FIFA rankings, the best ranking of the Thai team since 2008.
Thai football expert Man Kosin said a player who worked with coach Masatada Ishii was shocked by the decision to fire him. The player said he still could not believe that the Japanese coach had been fired, especially after a 6-0 win over Chinese Taipei.
Meanwhile, many Thai fans support FAT's decision to fire the Japanese strategist. They agree with FAT's point of view because under coach Ishii, the Thai team only won 16 out of 30 matches, achieving a winning rate of 53%.
MGR Online has analyzed and pointed out 7 reasons why the Football Association of Thailand should fire the 58-year-old coach. This information site believes that Ishii's old coaching style has made the players lack desire and play without depth.
Despite public backlash, FAT is still frantically searching for the right person to fill the vacant “hot seat”. Recently, the Thai press reported that FAT is rushing to complete the procedure to appoint Anthony Hudson as the head coach of the national team.
