Coaching career
Shillong Lajong: 2013–2017
Singto joined Shillong Lajong's coaching staff back in 2009 and has been there since.[1] However on 22 January 2013 it was officially confirmed that Singto would become the interim head coach of the club after the sacking of Desmond Bulpin from the squad.[1]
On 7 June 2017, after the 2016–17 season, Singto's contract was not renewed by Shillong Lajong and the two parted ways.[2]
Kerala Blasters
On 25 June 2017, a few weeks after leaving Shillong Lajong, Singto signed with Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters as assistant coach and technical director of their youth development program.[3] Thangboi was named as temporary Head Coach of Kerala Blasters following the departure of Rene Muelensteen in January 2018 until the arrival of David James.
