Season Notes
1998
In charge of BEC Tero Sasana
- Lead BEC Tero Sasana to third place in the Thailand Premier League, coming four points behind champions Sinthana.
- Vorawan would take lead 'BEC out in the Asian Champions League where he would make the second round. In the first round, he helped the team overcome Three Star Club of Nepal before being beaten by Chinese outfit Dalian Wanda.
1999-2003
In charge of Sembawang Rangers FC.
- Vorawan moved south from Thailand in 1999 to take on the role as Head Coach of Sembawang, members of the Singapore S.League.
It was a difficult spell for Vorawan, as the club could not seem to be able to break into the top 5. Usual placings of 8th and 9th occurred, with their best finish of 6th in 2002.
- In 2003, the S.League decided to remove the club from the league, so it was time to once again move on.
2004-2010
In charge of Tampines Rovers FC
- Vorawan took over at sleeping giants Tampines in 2004 with his onus on fighting for the league championship.
He duly delivered in his first season, winning the League and Cup double. He was also named Coach of the Year.
- With the stakes getting even higher, and pressure mounting more after a brilliant debut season, Vorawan once again proved the doubters wrong by claiming another double, the S League Championship and the ASEAN Club Championship in 2005. Vorawan was once again crowned Singapore Coach of the Year.
- 2006 was the start of something a bit different for Vorawan, as he would not see a League Championship, and see his team slip down to second position. Vorawan had to settle for the Singapore Cup, the second time he has won this championship.
- 2007 started to see Vorawan's Tampines side slip even further behind Home United and champions Singapore Armed Forces FC and see his beloved club fall to third in the championship
