History
In 2015, Thimphu became the first Bhutanese club to hire a foreign coach, Fabio Lopez. However, the Italian coach resigned from the club without coaching a single match, due to difficulties adapting to the lifestyle changes from his native country. The two foreign players signed under coach Lopez remained in the squad for the 2015 season.[3]
