This project brings world-class football coaches from England to share their knowledge, skills, and coaching techniques with Thai youth football coaches—enhancing their capabilities, empowering them to pass on valuable insights to young players, and fostering the development of future Thai football talent.
Kamoldist Smuthkochorn, Deputy Managing Director of Carabao Group Public Company Limited, stated that Carabao Group reaffirms its role as the official main sponsor of the "Carabao Cup" by continuing its collaboration with the English Football League (EFL) to launch the "Carabao Coach the Coaches 2025" project. Now entering its fifth year, the initiative aims to upgrade Thai football coaches through intensive training courses led by world-class EFL coaches from England, who come to share authentic coaching knowledge and firsthand experience. This initiative lays a strong foundation for Thai football by boosting the capabilities of local coaches and supporting the development of young players, ultimately paving the way for future professional careers in the sport.
The "Carabao Coach the Coaches 2025" programme is open for free registration from May 2–21, 2025, with training sessions taking place from May 30 to June 13, 2025, at Ratchapracha, Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima Province.
This year’s lineup of EFL coaches brings a wealth of expertise and experience to share with Thai youth football coaches. Notable figures include Richard Geohegan, Head of Coaching at the Burnley F.C. Academy, who will lead training with a curriculum based on Burnley’s renowned development program—one of the key foundations that propelled the club to England’s top league. Joining him is Byron Anthony, a coach from the Bristol Rovers F.C. Academy, a historic club with over 140 years of football legacy.
