Hong Kong coach Sebastiao Araujo has returned from a one-month holiday eager to select a nucleus of players for December's Asian Games.
The former Brazil assistant coach, who was met at the airport by Hong Kong Football Association officials yesterday, said he was pleased to return to the SAR and was anxious to get back to serious work.
He said he will watch all the FA Cup matches - the last domestic trophy of the season - before selecting a pool of between 25 and 28 players for his national training squad for the Bangkok Games.
Araujo said he would put forward a management proposal to the Hong Kong Football Association and was confident it would be accepted.
Without going into details of what the proposal was, the wiry Brazilian said his plan was simple but effective.
'I think my plan is easy to manage. I hope the Hong Kong Football Association approves my plan. I will be talking to them [today],' said Araujo.
Araujo, who coached the Hong Kong League XI squad to the final of the Carlsberg Cup Chinese New Year tournament, said his proposal was part of a package leading up to the Asian Games.
