Coach René Desaeyere leaves Ratchaburi FC after just 19 days in charge

Coach René Desaeyere left Ratchaburi FC just after two matches in charge, according to reports from Thailand.

The 70-year old was appointed as the replacement of Christian Ziege who left the club in February due to family affairs.

During his short stint with the Thai League 1 side, he suffered 2-1 and 2-0 losses against Bangkok United and Chiangrai United respectively.

His 19 days on duty has been the shortest period of time being in charge for a head coach in Thai League 1.

“We have to say thank you for René Desaeyere for his past three weeks. Now we have to find a new coach,” Ratchaburi FC wrote on their official website.

Ratchaburi appoint Thai coach Somchai Maiwilai as the caretaker for the league game against Nakhon Ratchasima this Sunday.
