Thats a pretty high profile appointment. No coaching experience but was a cracking player not so long ago.

The guy also signed up as player in Melbourne....

Straight road to failure I think.

Class player but unsure how a video conference from Australia will work wonders each week.

Thinking Melbourne Victory & Cambodia might be missing out on his full potential given both roles but the a-league will now have international breaks so he could do fly-bys whenever Cambodia plays.

according to The Guardian he will not get paid for his role as general manager of Cambodia's national team, so that shouldn't violate the AFC statutes you cited. Besides, Melbourne Victory were "aware and supportive of Honda’s negotiations with Cambodia when they signed him" and as I doubt Melbourne Victory would spend nearly 3 million USD without consulting a lawyer, I presume everything is above board and will hold up.

Honda might do it pro bono....
