Earlier on Thursday, reports said that Lee had been offered the full-time role and was expected to put pen to paper.
This move comes hot on the heels of Lee leading the Singapore men’s national football team to a historic victory, which saw them qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia on merit for the first time.
