DO you think that the old Russia coach will help Lao team go to the final round of SEA GAMES in Thailand ?
VIENTIANE: Russian coach Valeri Vdovin is back in Laos to prepare the U-23 team for the 24th SEA Games, which will take place in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand from December 6-15.
Vdovin was in charge of the team for the last SEA Games in 2005 in the Philippines.
Laos began this tournament on a high note, with a surprise victory over
strong rivals Myanmar 3-2 on the first day of their matches in Group B. But
their hopes of qualifying for the knockout round ended when they lost 2-8 to Vietnam, 0-1 to Singapore and 0-4 to Indonesia.
The Laos Football Federation said Vdovin would work with Lao coach Bounlap Khenkittisack to help the team improve on its previous performance.
