Current Singapore Under-23 head coach Nazri Nasir will lead the national team on an interim basis for this friendly series, according to FAS. This will be Nazri’s second time in charge of the senior squad, with his first stint occurring during the AIRMARINE Cup tournament in 2019.
Nazri expressed his excitement, stating, “It is always an honor to be selected to lead the national team for any international match. I worked closely with former national team coach Tatsuma Yoshida as his assistant when he joined us back in 2019. I intend to carry on the same philosophy and style of play that Tatsuma has instilled in the players while also implementing my own tactics and strategies for this Tri-Nations Series.”
FAS noted that the team “can expect to be under the helm of a new national team coach” in April as they finalize the appointment of Tatsuma Yoshida’s successor.
For the two matches involving Singapore, the capacity limit will be set at 15,000, while the match between Malaysia and the Philippines will allow a maximum of 5,000 attendees.
