Thailand aim to sign Schaefer as football coach

BANGKOK (AFP) - Thailand is close to signing Germany's Winfried Schaefer as coach for its national football team, a top official said on Wednesday.
"It's almost certain now," said Ong-arj Kosinkar, general secretary of the Football Association of Thailand.
"Signing of a three year-contract will take place in the next few days," he said. "He will start work on July 1."
Thailand's previous coach Bryan Robson, a former England and Manchester United captain, quit earlier this month after less than two years in the job, citing health and family reasons.
Former Thai coach and England international Peter Withe had also been named by the Thai football authorities as a possible contender to replace him.
