The Football Association of Thailand's executive board yesterday appointed Korawee Prisananantakul as the caretaker secretary-general of the national governing body.

Korawee's appointment was announced by FAT president Pol Gen Somyot Poompunmuang, who chaired yesterday's meeting of the executive board.

Somyot said: "Today, we had our monthly executive board meeting and the most important development is that the board has agreed to appoint deputy chairman of Thai League organising committee Korawee Prisananantakul as the acting secretary-general of the FAT."

"The appointment will be officially ratified at the FAT annual general meeting next year."

The FAT had been operating without a secretary-general for a month after Somyot sacked Korawee's predecessor Pol Lt Gen Pisan Jundilok from the post, claiming that a large number of FAT member clubs were not happy with his performance.

Pisan countered by calling for the removal of his close friend Somyot from the office of the FAT president, accusing him and his associates of mismanagement and seeking a Sports Authority of Thailand probe into the association's financial affairs.
