Stating to the press, the Brazil coach said:

“This is my last tournament with U23 Thailand. I am so honored to work with you. I want to say thank to the fans who have supported me. In the past we got a lot of difficulties and unsuccessful results which makes me feel sorry, but I will still look to the future, many things await me.”

As planned, Mr. Gama, who coached U23 Thailand since 5^th November 2018, will submit his resignation application to Football Association of Thailand (FAT).
