This market resolves to the person who is officially appointed by the Hong Kong Football Association (HKFA) as the next Head Coach of the Hong Kong men’s national football team on or before the official end date of the 2025–26 Hong Kong Premier League season.

Settlement will be based on an official HKFA announcement confirming the appointment, where the role is explicitly described as Head Coach or an equivalent title for the men’s national team.

If an interim coach is appointed and is explicitly described by HKFA as Head Coach, that will count. If a person is only named as acting or caretaker coach, and HKFA does not describe this as an appointment to the Head Coach role, it will not count unless that person is later officially confirmed as Head Coach by the deadline.
