V SUNDRAMOORTHY
After Stange’s departure, V Sundramoorthy returned to the national team in May 2016 as caretaker coach on a one-year contract. This was extended in 2017 by another year.
In a statement, then-FAS vice-president Lim Kia Tong said that the association had “received applications from many qualified and experienced applicants around the world”, but ultimately decided to give a local coach the opportunity to coach the national team.
He was the first Singaporean national coach in 16 years since Vincent Subramaniam, who took charge from 1998 to 2000.
The Lions suffered a torrid AFF Cup campaign in 2016, finishing last in their group after defeats to Thailand and Indonesia, as well as a goalless draw with host Philippines.
The following year, Singapore failed to win a single game.
Sundram stepped down from his role in April 2018, with a record of three wins, five draws and 15 defeats in 23 matches.
