Former Muang Thong United coach Milos Joksic returns to the Thai League today with the hope of resurrecting both Nakhon Ratchasima and his own dwindling career.
Joksic, who has had coaching assignments with a number of teams in Thailand with mixed results, faces his old club Pattaya United today.
Nakhon Ratchasima, who have been languishing in the relegation zone for some time now, will be looking forward to bounce back from their League Cup loss on Wednesday which was their first game under Joksic.
Nakhon Ratchasima manager ML Orus Devakul said: "Although Milos Joksic couldn't help us win the League Cup match on Wednesday, I don't think it will have any major affect on our performance.
"I am confident that Milos will help the team win against Pattaya United at our home ground."
Pattaya United assistant coach, Jetsada Jitsawad said: "We just beat Nong Bua Lam Phu in the League Cup so our confidence is high. We are looking forward to the match with Nakhon Ratchasima and our players are ready."
Meanwhile, Bangkok Glass coach Anurak Srikerd warned his team to be more consistent on the eve of their Thai League clash with Sukhothai.
Bangkok Glass suffered a shock 1-0 loss to League One side Port in the League Cup on Wednesday, casting doubts on Anurak's future at the club.
Anurak said: "I am still with the team. We know we are having a difficult time made worse by our early exit from the League Cup. This is football and we must look forward to the next match.
"Sukhothai are not easy opponents. They are having a good season and are ranked among the top six in the league. We cannot underestimate them at all.
"We will be playing at home so I am banking on the support of our fans as well."
Muang Thong United coach Totchtawan Sripan yesterday expressed confidence that the league leaders will pick up three points at the SCG Stadium from their match against Chainat tomorrow.
Their strike force will be led by in-form Brazilian forward Cleiton Silva.
