Thailand have told national team
coach Peter Reid that it is time for him to make his mind up.
The ex-England midfielder took the job in September 2008 but recently shocked his bosses last month by announcing that he was heading back home to become the assistant manager with Premier League club Stoke City.
Football Association of Thailand (FAT) president Worawi Makudi flew to England to meet Reid and declared that the former Manchester City, Sunderland and Leeds United boss would continue with Thailand after helping out Stoke boss Tony Pulis for a short time.
Reid, however, now wants to extend his stay in England, earning a rebuke from Makudi on Wednesday.
"Peter told me that the Thai national team will be idle until November when they face Singapore home and away in the Asian Cup qualifying round. So he asked for permission to work with Pulis for another two weeks," Makudi told the Bangkok Post.
"I told him that this would mean he did not honour the promise he made at the Manchester restaurant (where they met). The FAT and the Thai fans want him to come back.
"I want a clear-cut answer. He cannot do two jobs at the same time. He must be Thailand's coach on a full-time basis."
