(Central News Agency, Taipei, 24th) The Taiwan Women's Football Union recently submitted a petition demanding the dismissal of Thai head coach Prasobchoke Chokemor. In response, the Chinese Taipei Football Association will hold a selection meeting tomorrow morning. Chairman Chang Tsan revealed that a comprehensive interview report has been prepared, and the association is expected to proceed with the termination of his contract.
The Taiwan Women's Football Union recently submitted a petition to the Ministry of Sports, accusing Thai head coach Prasobchoke Chokemor and his coaching staff of severe "incompetence" during the preparations for the Asian Cup, as well as a lack of scientific training and data support. They called for the swift dismissal of the head coach and the reorganization of the coaching staff.
However, the dismissal of Prasobchoke Chokemor as head coach must be finalized through a selection meeting. Therefore, the Chinese Taipei Football Association held an online selection meeting last week, which was cancelled due to an insufficient number of attendees for legal quorum. The Football Association is scheduled to hold a physical selection meeting on the morning of the 25th to re-discuss Prasobchoke Chokemor's future and has requested his personal presence to explain the situation.
Chairman Chang Tsan stated in a media interview today that concerns about Prasobchoke Chokemor had been received even before the Taiwan women's football team's Asian Cup campaign, and he immediately reported it to the Ministry of Sports. However, considering the impact of changing coaches before a major competition, Prasobchoke Chokemor was allowed to continue leading the team. Nevertheless, before the women's football union's petition, a report recommending the dismissal of the head coach had already been prepared.
Chang Tsan pointed out that interviews have been conducted with players, assistant coaches, and other relevant personnel, and the association is moving towards terminating the head coach's contract. If all procedures are successfully completed, a new head coach who meets the expectations of the public will be proposed as soon as possible. It is understood that Belgian coach Patrick De Wilde will be recommended to take charge of the Taiwan women's football team and lead them in the East Asian Cup in June.
Prasobchoke Chokemor's term is until the end of the Nagoya Asian Games in October. Chang Tsan added that communication had already taken place with Prasobchoke Chokemor, but he expressed his desire to adhere to the spirit of the contract, which may lead to a high severance payment. Therefore, Chang Tsan mentioned that they do not rule out transferring Prasobchoke Chokemor to other positions to avoid wasting funds. (Editor: Lung Bo-an) 1150424
