History[]

Foundation[]

Chainat Hornbill Football Club is a professional football club founded in 2009 by Anucha Nakasai, a former Thai politician. The club was placed in the best management class as a result, and it has developed rapidly since its first season. In the 2009 Northern Regional Division 2 Regional League the club came third, playing 20 matches and winning 12, drawing 3 and losing 5 for a total of 39 points. Their top scorer was Sanogo Abou, with 15 goals.[citation needed] In 2012, the club was promoted to the top league, Thai League 1, for the first time.[1]

Amato era[]

Florent Sinama Pongolle is the club's all-time top scorer (33)

In 2017, Anucha Nakasai announced the appointment of Dennis Amato as the new head coach of the club.[2]

In October 2017, the club came first in Thai League 2 with 67 points[3] and was promoted to Thai League 1.

After Chainat Hornbill's promotion to the top tier of Thai football, Amato briefly left the club to take up a role as a director of football at Ang Thong.[4] The club announced the appointment of Drago Mamić as the new head coach of the club but Mamić left the club for personal reasons.[5] However, Amato return to Chainat again, but was faced with many problems, including a squad with a limited number of players, and strict financial constraints.[6]

A Thai League Survival Campaign: Giant-killing[]

In 2018, after a win against defending FA Cup champions Chiangrai United, the Hornbills defeated the defending Thai League 1 champions Buriram United 1-0 at the Chang Arena, which was the first time that Buriram United had failed to win a league game on their own home ground since the return of Bozidar Bandovic as coach.[7] In the 2018 season, the club became well-known as "giant-killing." (Thai: จอมล้มยักษ์).[8] Under Amato's management, the Hornbills play a style of football based on maintaining possession, and trying to win the ball back after losing it, instead of regrouping into a defensive position.[9][10]

In 2019, the Hornbills beat many Thai League 1 giants. In a home game at Khao Plong Stadium they beat Muangthong United 3-0, won against Bangkok United with a score of 21, and beat Buriram United 2-1.[citation needed]
