Coaching career

Brunei

Youth

Leading the Brunei Under-16 in their 2014 AFC U-16 Championship qualification campaign which ran from 21 to 29 September 2013, [1] Heng Seng returned to coach the Brunei Under-14s in 2016 for the AFC U14 Regional Festival of Football, prophesying a good run in the competition. [4] The Singaporean also took the reins of the Brunei U15 in 2017, taking them to their first ever win in the AFF U-15 Championship that year, beating Cambodia 2-0. [5] He also coached the Under-15s in their 2018 AFC U-16 Championship qualifiers. [6]

In his opinion, the Brunei National Under-16 Youth League has benefits for youth players development for the reason that it will expose them to competitive matches. [7]

Under-23

As head coach of the Brunei Olympic team in 2015 for their 2016 AFC U-23 Championship qualification campaign, Heng Seng blamed a narrow 2-0 loss to Indonesia on a fortuitous strike by Ahmad Noviandani in the 71st minute, claiming it was unintended. [8] He was manager of the Olympic team in the 2015 SEA Games as well, stating that his team prepared well for the competition and their first group stage clash countering Vietnam. [9]

Ng was designated head coach of the under-23s for the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship qualification matches held in late March 2019 in Vietnam. Unfortunately he has now been mistaken for assistant Darus Tanjong due to the latter taking press conferences instead of Ng. [10]

Singapore

In 2021, Ng was appointed at the Singapore women's national football team's head coach for two years. [11]
