Futoshi Ikeda, former head coach of the Japanese women’s national football team, was introduced as the head coach of the Chaba Kaew team together with Madam Pang on January 8, 2025, before starting work immediately on that day. He started by calling a meeting of the association’s women’s football team, joining in the consideration of selecting interpreters, and also traveling to Bangkokthonburi University to survey readiness before calling the players to the first camp from January 20-25.

The second assistant coach is Yoshiaki Nagai, who has worked with the Urawa Red Diamonds women’s football team in both the role of assistant coach of the senior team and head coach of the U15 team. His most recent job is as both a coach and academy director for Orca Kamogawa FC, a เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา team in the top league of the Japan Women’s Football League.
