The four are Surachart Sareepim, Patiparn Petchpool, Adul Muensamarn and Teerathep Winothai.
Police United are looking for a new boss to succeed Attaphol Bussapakom who passed away on Thursday.
“We [the quartet] will do everything for our coach and try to bring success to the team,’’ said Teerathep.
“The coach told us that he wanted to take Police United back to the Thai Premier League. We will try to do it for him and the team.”
Police were relegated at the end of last season.
Attaphol’s funeral is being held at Bangkok’s Wat That Thong until Monday and his cremation will take place on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Malaysian champions Johor Darul Ta’zim have sacked goalkeeper Mohd Anis Faron Ahmad for swearing at a policeman after a loss, local media reported yesterday.
The 33-year-old was charged by a Penang court this week for the outburst which came after a second-tier Premier League match for the Johor development side at the City Stadium in Penang.
Mohd Anis faces a five-year prison sentence and or fine if found guilty.
“There is no use for us to keep a football player that failed to display discipline as a professional player,” Johor president Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim was quoted as saying by local media.
