Incumbent Worawi Makudi is seeking to extend the term of the president of the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) from two years to four.
After yesterday's FAT executive board meeting, Worawi said he told the members that the term of the FAT president should be four years, bringing it in line with Fifa regulations.
The matter will be further discussed at the FAT annual meeting on March 13, he said.
"I will propose changes to our regulations about the term of the FAT president at the annual meeting," Worawi said.
The meeting confirmed June 15 as the date for an election of a new FAT president and Worawi is expected to seek re-election.
The term of the president of any Thai sporting association is normally two years and Worawi's suggestion may contravene Thailand's sporting laws.
Worawi also said the future of national coach Winfried Schaefer was discussed at the meeting.
"He will continue as head coach of the Thai national team but he must stop criticising anyone and trading words with journalists," he said.
"It is useless and he should only talk about the team and concentrate on preparing the team."
Pressed for confirmation that the German coach still had a future with the national side, Worawi said: "Everything remains the same at the moment. But things can change all the time."
It has been speculated that Thailand's result against Lebanon in an Asian Cup qualifier on March 22 could determine Schaefer's future with the national team.
Thailand have had unconvincing results in the past few months. They lost to Singapore in the AFF Suzuki Cup final, finished third in the King's Cup and lost 3-1 at home to Kuwait in their opening Asian Cup qualifying match.
Schaefer has on several occasions criticised FAT bosses for their lack of professionalism.
Meanwhile, Worawi will be in Malaysia for a summit, beginning today, to discuss allegations of corruption in Asian football.
The conference comes just days after it was revealed that the referee in last year's FA Cup final between Buriram United and Army United claimed to have been offered a bribe.
"At the moment I cannot say anything about the match," Worawi said. "We will talk about the match-fixing problem during the conference in Malaysia."
Army United have said they had nothing to do with the match-fixing claim but Buriram, who won the match, have since remained silent.
