# 2024–25 Muangthong United F.C. season

The 2024–25 season is Muangthong United Football Club's 18th season since they took over from Nongchok Pittaya Nusorn Football Club in 2007. It is the club's 16th consecutive season in the top flight of the Thai football league system since being promoted in the 2009 season.
On June 23, 2024, Muangthong United announced that the club had parted ways with Miloš Joksić after the contract expired at the end of 2023-24 season. Muangthong United appointed Gino Lettieri as the new head coach on July 6, 2024. Also, he becomes the club's first ever Italian manager.
On June 25, 2024, Thai League announced the program for the upcoming 2024-25 Thai League 1 season. The season commenced on August 9, 2024, and will conclude on April 27, 2025.
On July 23, 2024, Vietnamese club Dong A Thanh Hoa announced that they would withdraw from the 2024–25 AFC Champions League Two campaign due to a hectic schedule in the upcoming 2024-25 season. Therefore, the AFC sent an official letter to the FA Thailand stating that a Thai club would replace Dong A Thanh Hoa spot. Initially, the chance went to BG Pathum United F.C. as they finished 4th in the 2023-24 Thai League 1 season. However, BG Pathum United F.C. declined the opportunity as they also have a hectic schedule. Hence, Muangthong United who finished 5th in the 2023-24 Thai League 1 season, gets the chance to compete in the group stage round of 2024–25 AFC Champions League Two instead.
