Review
[edit]After winning the 2022 Singapore Cup, Hougang was thought to be a contender for the SPL champion.[1]
On 6 April 2023, Hougang lost to Tanjong Pagar United FC 1-2 and was second bottom of the SPL table with the same points as Young Lions but with a better goal difference.[1]
On 17 April, head of youth, Marko Kraljević replaced head coach Firdaus Kassim as interim head coach after the club failed to win any matches since they won the opening match in the 2023 Singapore Premier League season.[2] Firdaus took over Kraljević's position as head of youth.[2]
