The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) has appointed Fandi Ahmad as LionsXII Head Coach on a three-year contract, with an option to extend for another two years, the national body announced in a press release tonight (Dec 7).

Fandi, who clinched two league titles during his tenure as coach of Singapore Armed Forces Football Club (now known as Warriors FC), will commence employment this Thursday.

Fandi's first match as LionsXII coach will be the Charity Cup clash against Malaysia Cup champions Pahang on Jan 17, which is the curtain-raiser for the new Malaysian Super League season.

FAS General Secretary Winston Lee said: “Apart from his illustrious playing career, Fandi is one of the most respected coaches in Singapore today and he brings with him a wealth of experience both at the domestic and regional levels, including the Indonesian and Malaysian football leagues. We are confident in his abilities to bring the LionsXII to the next level.

“In line with our coaching development pathway, National Teams Head Coach Bernd Stange will also be working closely with Fandi on areas pertaining to football and coaching development. We believe Fandi will benefit from the wealth of experience and knowledge that Bernd has, and this will further enhance his development as a coach.”
