Surapong Kongthep has resigned as the head coach of Sukhothai and apologised for the team’s failure to retain their place in Thai League 1.
Sukhothai were relegated to the second tier following a 1-0 defeat to Suphanburi in a match that decided which of the two sides would stay in the top flight on the final day of the 2020 season on Sunday.
The two others teams to be relegated from T1 were Trat and Rayong.
The Fire Bats needed only one point to escape the drop but conceded a goal in the last 10 minutes of the match when Leandro Assumpcao headed home to deliver the winner for hosts Suphanburi.
Under Surapong, Sukhothai collected only 28 points from their 30 games — their lowest haul since being promoted to the top flight in 2016.
