Taki gets job at Prachuap

Masami Taki has been appointed coach of Thai League 1 side PT Prachuap, the club said yesterday.

The Japanese joins the Killer Wasps on a one-year deal as his contract with relegated Rayong FC expired after the 2020 season, which ended on Sunday.

Taki, 48, replaces former Thailand international Thawatchai Dumrong-ongtrakul, who parted ways with Prachuap after failing to meet the club’s target.
