In their first Premier League season, the club was managed by Hans Emser, a German Head Coach. Under his service, the club was unbeaten for twelve league games in a row. He was a successful coach from Bangkok Glass FC with a points average of 2,33. Nevertheless, Emser himself declared that he preferred to work with the youth team rather than the senior team.

Stadium

KTB use the multi-purpose Chulalongkorn University Stadium. This holds around 20,000 spectators, but during their AFC Champions League 2008 campaign, they attracted 2,000 fans for their opening clash against Japanese oppostition Kashima Antlers. But during the rest of the campaign, they only attracted over 500 fans, not enough for AFC rule. This is one of the reasons why the AFC reduced the number of Thai entrants to the Champions League, due to poor turnout and the lack of promoting their Champions League and domestic football games.
