Xinhua, Phnom Penh :
Japanese footballer Keisuke Honda was appointed as the Cambodia national football team’s head coach and general manager on Sunday.
Sao Sokha, president of the Football Federation of Cambodia (FFC), said Honda had signed a two-year contract to coach the Cambodia national team without a paycheck.
“Honda has volunteered to help coach our Cambodia national football team, and he agrees not to take a salary, but the FFC will pay for his travel and accommodation,” he said in a press briefing in Phnom Penh.
Sokha was confident that the 32-year-old former AC Milan striker would help improve the ability of Cambodia national team players towards the 2018 AFF Suzuki Cup and the 2023 Southeast Asian Games when Cambodia is the host.
