Managerial career

Charnwit Polcheewin, Thai footballer coaching the national team

In club level, he brought Thai Farmers Bank to two consecutive AFC Champions League (then Asian Club Championship) titles in 1993–94 and 1994–95. He coached Thailand during their successful campaign in the 2005 SEA Games. He resigned from the post on 20 February 2007 to coach Vietnamese club Đồng Tháp. However, as the transfer did not go through, he return to his post as the Thai national team coach. He was confirmed in this position in April 2007 after the election of the new FAT President and the appointment of a new executive committee.

Polcheewin left his post in the national team on 22 June 2008, after the 2010 World Cup qualifier game against Oman.[3] In his final game, Thailand lost 1–2 to Oman. Polcheewin was again linked with the Vietnamese side Đồng Tháp on 20 November 2008, according to the Vietnam Bridge website.[4]
