Farid Ghalem – Football Coach
Farid Ghalem
Football Coach · France / Thailand / Vietnam
Professional Summary
Born in Paris, France, with a strong academic background and high-level football playing experience. I later transitioned into education and coaching, gaining international experience, including at Chiang Rai International School. I emphasise holistic player development—mental, physical, technical—and incorporate video analysis to enhance tactical understanding, positioning, and collective game intelligence.
My psychology background strengthens my approach to motivation, behaviour, and communication, helping players grow as both athletes and individuals. I aim to build confident, intelligent, well-rounded players who understand their role and contribute to team cohesion.
