Sirisak Yodyardthai (Thai: ศิริศักดิ์ ยอดญาติไทย) is a Thai football manager who last managed Thai Honda FC in the Thai League T1 and sometimes coached their youth sides.[1]
Early Life
When he was 15, Sirisak was given the chance to play with his football idol, which made him want to pursue a football career.[1] Besides playing football, he also enjoyed running in sweltering weather with his brother.[1]
Career
Under his tutelage, Thai Honda FC were promoted to the Thai League T1 for the 2017 season. The Bangkok University graduate believes that players should not undertake vigorous physical activity before a game as it will exhaust rather than energize the player.
He led his team to their first top-flight victory in 10 years when they beat Bangkok United 1-0.[3]
Before he became coach of Thai Honda, he did multiple jobs for them including carrying their equipment, preparing food and even being a van driver for the club. Also, he has been an assistant coach for 17 years.[2] In 2016, he replaced Takami Masami as coach.[1]
His sacking as coach was announced in April 2017 after a 3-1 defeat to Chonburi.[4][5] with 3 wins and 8 losses.[6]
Awards
For his efforts in taking Thai Honda FC to the Thai League T1 in 2016, he received an award for the best professional sports coach.[7]
Personal life
Sirisak has a brother and a sister.[1] Now, he is divorced and has two sons who are both 11 years old and studying in Maha Sarakham.[1]
