Coach Duong Minh Ninh (HAGL):Just a few hours after the humiliating 0-3 loss to Quang Nam in round 6 of V-League 2019, HAGL Club announced: "Coach Duong Minh Ninh takes responsibility for the team's poor performance in the last 6 matches and resigns as head coach....". Immediately after parting ways with coach Duong Minh Ninh, HAGL immediately appointed coach Lee Tae-hoon as head coach with the hope that he will do what his compatriot Chung Hae-seong did to bring Ho Chi Minh City Club to fly high on the rankings. After 7 matches under coach Lee Tae-hoon, HAGL has improved their playing style and although they are currently ranked 11th on the rankings, they are only 1 win away from the 5th placed team (Thanh Hoa).

Assistant coach Nguyen Thanh Son was immediately promoted to interim coach and until now, Becamex Binh Duong has not found a replacement because after the first leg, the team under the new coach still ranked 6th on the rankings and even advanced to the final of the AFC Cup - Asean Zone. |
![]() Nguyen Van Sy (Nam Dinh):On May 23, DNH Nam Dinh suddenly made an adjustment on the coaching bench when Coach Van Sy was promoted to assistant, giving up the head coach position to his brother Nguyen Van Dung. This information made many people feel confused when Coach Van Sy was still doing his job well, even though the team from Thanh Nam had not achieved the expected results at that time. The reason this military leader did not take the position of head coach of DNH Nam Dinh was shared as... not being old enough. At the end of this year, Mr. Sy will turn 49. And spiritually, this is an unlucky number. Therefore, the "captain" position of the team from Thanh Nam was held by coach Nguyen Van Dung, Van Sy's brother, and this coach stepped back to the role of assistant. Nam Dinh currently has 15 points, equal to HAGL after the first leg and is temporarily 6 points ahead of the bottom position of Khanh Hoa. |

Lee Heung Sil (Viettel):Right before the final round of the first leg took place, Viettel Club officially made the decision at 4:30 p.m. on June 12: "Mr. Lee Heung Sil is no longer the head coach of Viettel Football Club. This separation is the consensus between the leadership of Viettel Sports Center and Coach Lee Heung Sil." Previously, after 12 rounds of V-League 2019, Viettel Club only ranked 11th out of 14 teams with 14 points, which was difficult for the team's leadership to accept. Not being able to connect the stars and not having a unique style of play was also what made Viettel lose patience with the Korean coach. Immediately after parting ways with coach Lee Heung Sil, coach Nguyen Hai Bien was assigned to be the head coach of Viettel Club from round 13 of V.League. |
After parting ways with coach Hoang Van Phuc, Quang Nam has chosen a replacement, the young coach Vu Hong Viet. Mr. Viet is no stranger to the football world as he has spent many years leading youth teams such as U15, U16, achieving many achievements in regional and continental competitions. After 3 matches in charge, coach Vu Hong Viet has brought more positive football to Quang Nam, this team has 11 points after the first leg and is doing a lot of work to prepare for the fight against relegation in the remaining 13 matches of the season. |

Nguyen Duc Thang (Thanh Hoa):After the 1-2 loss to Hai Phong in the round of 16 of the National Cup on June 29, Coach Nguyen Duc Thang suddenly resigned as Head Coach of Thanh Hoa Club. Coach Nguyen Duc Thang took the "hot seat" in Thanh on May 1, 2018. At that time, Thanh Hoa team ranked 6th with 8 points and was almost eliminated from the championship race. Under Coach Duc Thang, Thanh Hoa Club strongly revived and finished the season in second place. Entering the 2019 season, after parting ways with the sponsor, Coach Duc Thang still showed his ability when steering Thanh Hoa from the bottom of the table in the first half of the first leg back to the middle of the rankings after 13 rounds ended. This surprised many people with the decision of the former The Cong player as well as the leadership of Thanh Hoa Club. Coach Nguyen Duc Thang is also the 6th captain to say goodbye to his teams when the 2019 season is still unfinished. In the second leg, the battle at the two ends of the rankings is officially the stage that makes the head coach's seats shaky and ready to fall at any time if the team they lead is not in a position that meets the expectations and requirements of the board of directors as well as the fans. |
