Singapore’s football chief has described interim head coach Gavin Lee as a “very, very strong candidate” for the top job. Forrest Li says he will soon have talks with coach Lee on his future to find out what his plans are for the Lions after qualifying for the Asian Cup. He adds that the team will receive bonuses of around S$2 million, and pledges to devote even more resources in preparation for the 2027 tournament. Nikhil Khattar reports.

NO NEED TALK SO MUCH LAH GIVE HIM THE CONTRACT. CHOP CHOP
Don’t need FT. Pls give Singaporean opportunities, they can do the jobs.
This is just a small step in qualifying for Asian Cup finals.
Hope Singapore will not be in the same group with formidable teams like Japan South Korea to name a few otherwise we can kiss goodbye in the first round.
Just giving fans false hope
Do you really believe that u can win ur next game just dream on
The japan head coach suddenly left sound fishy and the captain of singapore team stand near the goal post wilhout marking like amateur he should replaced
Give him the job! He deserve it!. Trust local talent!
Hire 1 local talent also take so long must consider. SG hired those foreign coaches all useless.
If not, he can coach HK
Next friendly match for him will be against Brazil's Samba. If he pulls of a win again, he can have the top job in The Little Red Dot.
Forrest Gump.
As always success is teamwork. He deserve the support he needs not a one man army. The focus must b3 correvt.
Gavin isn't just a normal local boy, his football coaching pedigree has been tried and tested everywhere he's gone. From JSSL to Tampines Rovers and now the national squad. This guy will coach a European club one day
Huh why still say candidate?? Give him the top job straight please, support local!
there's some kind of magic in interim coaches… remember de Mateo for Chelsea?
Thank you.. thank you & thank you..🙏 and thank you..❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Gavin the Head..
With big money as motivation..
Players the Legs will run faster !
Btw..
Where did 2 millions come from ?
Give Gavin the job, no doubt‼️💯👏👍
Singapore, well done, bravo‼️💯👏👍
Gavin Lee – Only a strong candidate? No follow the past FAS in hiring foreign coaches.
FAS, don't wste time la. He already deserves it, just give him the head coach post.
Just because he brought the national team to the Asia Cup Finals in 2027 ? Not the type of experience and knowledge that football fans should know that can lead them to success in 2027 . Get a prim and proper coach with proven records and success to lead the team . Gavin can assist him all the way till 2027 as he already knows the team well , and should continue to help the team , BUT as an assistant coach , not the lead coach . At 35 , why is the FAS rushing to appoint an inexperienced coach to lead a national team to a major tournament ? He can be assistant while coaching a local SPL team as the lead coach .
I prefer 'deserving candidate' than 'strong candidate' given Coach Lee's work thus far.
If he doesn’t get the job just prove that Sg employers/ govt always perceive foreign talents superior to locals. That’s so wrong
It's a step-up and not an easy job for the road ahead. The Asian Cup – the big boys in this region are there and some of them are familiar faces in the World Cup. For now, let this soak in first. Well done Lions!
Can la they group with not strong team..Imagine same group with Indonesia,Malaysia & Thailand?
Congrats Singapore 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬
