Josep Ferre, the former head of the Buriram Academy is looking forward to locking horns with his former employers at the Chang Arena tonight. Josep, or Coco as he is widely known, was promoted from his role as assistant coach during the close season.
He has fond memories of the club and the city but is hoping his team can provide an upset against the league champions. Despite a narrow 1-0 defeat at Nakhon Ratchasima on the opening day of the season, he feels that he has a good squad which can compete with the best.
Coco believes the creativeness of his midfield is their main strength so the Buriram rearguard will have their work cut out. He is a really nice guy and we at the Times wish him every success in his new job. Apart from a couple of games !!!!
