He led the Bhutan team the semifinals of the 2008 South Asian Football Federation Cup tournament, where they lost to India (2 - 1) during stoppage time of extra time.[3] It was the furthest the team had ever gone. In the 2008 and 2010 AFC Challenge Cup he would lead the team to third and fourth place respectively.However, the team did not attempt to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, being the only FIFA member in the 2010 qualifications to withdraw.
