Sainsbury was re-appointed as head coach nine days later, taking charge of the team for their last three remaining games (for the 2017 season) against Western Phnom Penh, National Police Commissary and Svay Rieng FC. Sean remained as head coach at Phnom Penh Crown FC for the entire 2018 season helping 12 players from his squad establish themselves as senior national team players.

Sean signed a contract to take the role of head coach at Bangkok FC for the start of the 2019 season. Under new ownership the club signed Sean, bringing him back to Thailand, where he had previously worked for four seasons.

At the end of the 2019 season, after helping Bangkok FC to a fifth-place finish in the league, Sean was recruited by Buriram United. He signed with them as the head coach of their B team in October 2019, a similar role he held during his time at Muangthong United. Sean's first competitive games for Buriram came in 2019 in the Coke Cup U19 tournament and in February 2020 Buriram United were crowned Coke Cup Champions, going unbeaten in 10 games under Sean's leadership.
