Reid tapped to coach national football team in SEA Games

By Karlo Sacamos




GLOBAL coach Brian Reid has been tapped to handle the Philippine 23-under men’s football team that will represent the country in the Southeast Asian Games in December.

The 42-year-old Scottish mentor, who is trying to lead Global to a second successive title in the United Football League, is set to become the next foreign head coach of the youth team after German Michael Weiss helmed the side in the last SEA Games.

Philippine Football Federation general secretary Ed Gastanes confirmed the news to Spin.ph on Monday, saying he submitted the list of the coaching staff along with the national 23-under team pool members to the Philippine Sports Commission last week.

Reid will be assisted by Ilonggo coach Dan Padernal and Pachanga-Diliman mentor Noel Marcaida, who is set to be the goalkeeping coach.


“At least we can change it, but in the meantime, they’re the ones recommended by the national teams committee and approved by (PFF),” said the lawyer, the ex-officio member of the national team committee headed by Azkals manager Dan Palami.

The youth team is set to have a friendly series against Singapore, starting with an away game in the opponent’s turf on Thursday. The home match is tentatively slated on July 20.

      They are all Palamis puppets. Thats why he managed to get the players from rival teams. But unfortunately for him, it hasnt helped Global in the league or in the Presidents Cup.

    Heard from a very good source that Reid is being groomed to replace Weiss.
    Palami is not the new boss of PFF- he has been calling the shots ever since on all matters related to the national teams.

      Thats correct, but Palami acts like if he was the PFF president. Even Araneta has to ask Palami if this or that is allright. It should be the other way around.

      Hogwash. If Reid is being groomed as replacement for Weiss, what of the German funding then?

      Officially he is not the PFF's president but he has the money that PFF does not have. That is the only reason why he calls the shot. The bottom line is who ever has the money gets to call it. The PFF needs that power in order to really impose itself as the real shot caller.
