Managerial career
In club level, he brought Thai Farmers Bank to two consecutive AFC Champions League (then Asian Club Championship) titles in 1993–94 and 1994–95. He coached Thailand during their successful campaign in the 2005 SEA Games. He resigned from the post on 20 February 2007 to coach Vietnamese club Đồng Tháp. However, as the transfer did not go through, he return to his post as the Thai national team coach. He was confirmed in this position in April 2007 after the election of the new FAT President and the appointment of a new executive committee.
Polcheewin left his post in the national team on 22 June 2008, after the 2010 World Cup qualifier game against Oman.{{cite news |title=Chanvit confirms his farewell |url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/Sports/17Jun2008_sport29.php |work=Bangkok Post |date=2008-06-16 |access-date=2008-06-16}} In his final game, Thailand lost 1–2 to Oman.
