'Big brother' Huy Hoang leads SLNA; Coach Le Huynh Duc wants to resign
(Baonghean.vn) - Assistant Nguyen Huy Hoang has been appointed as the interim coach of SLNA; the Da Nang military leader feels guilty for putting the team at risk of not achieving its goals.
Can "big brother" Huy Hoang help SLNA escape the bottom?
On April 30, Mr. Nguyen Hong Thanh wrote a letter of resignation from the position of President of SLNA Club and submitted it to the Board of Directors. In addition, head coach Ngo Quang Truong also resigned. In this situation, the Nghe An team decided to replace Mr. Truong with assistant coach Nguyen Huy Hoang.
When Mr. Truong resigned, many people predicted that Technical Director Nguyen Duc Thang would be chosen to sit in the hot seat. But in reality, in recent years, Mr. Thang has taken on a management role, negotiating, retaining players and diplomats, and bringing sponsorship contracts to SLNA.
In Vinh city, Mr. Thang “dinosaur” has influence and wide relationships, so although he was originally a player, he has a strong point in diplomacy. Previously, Mr. Thang used his prestige and “advance” to many SLNA players to keep them. Now Mr. Truong has resigned and SLNA has almost no choice but to hire assistant Nguyen Huy Hoang.

This is considered a reasonable choice because Huy Hoang is the "big brother" of the SLNA team. Hoang "lac" has influence with the players and although he is quiet, when he "turns on the machine", the players immediately say "yes". Perhaps this is the most feasible option for the Nghe An team. But there is only one concern, because he has never taken on the role of head coach, Huy Hoang's experience in commanding a team is still very limited. Especially at this stage when SLNA is at the bottom of the table and on May 2nd will have to play away at Thanh Hoa Stadium, Huy Hoang's solution is not sure to bring immediate results for the Nghe An team.
Perhaps Huy Hoang can only solve the problem of helping SLNA players reduce the pressure and tension of being at the bottom of the table, but changes in expertise and tactics will need more time to have the most accurate answer.Coach Le Huynh Duc wants to resign
Zing's source from the team said that coach Le Huynh Duc intends to resign. Chairman of Da Nang Club Bui Xuan Hoa has not confirmed the information that the strategist born in 1972 submitted his application. But there is information showing that Mr. Duc submitted his application on April 29.
Mr. Duc poured out his heart to the press after the 1-2 home loss to Saigon FC in round 11. He pointed out many problems of the team and himself after the club dropped to 5th place.

The team leaders’ move shows that they want to keep the atmosphere in the team stable before welcoming Viettel Club on the afternoon of May 2. The departure of coach Le Huynh Duc at this time could have a negative impact on the team. The name Le Huynh Duc has been associated with Da Nang football for nearly 13 years. Although he took the initiative to leave, it is not certain that it is the best choice at this time.
Barca offers Messi a 10-year contract
According to Times, after negotiations between President Joan Laporta and Mr. Jorge Messi (Lionel Messi's father), Barca offered the Argentine superstar a new 10-year contract. If Messi agrees to extend, he will end his career at Camp Nou. After that, the superstar born in 1987 was appointed as Barca's Executive Director.
Previously, Spanish media reported that Messi changed his mind and wanted to stay to fulfill his ambition of winning another Champions League title with Barca. Messi was also willing to take a pay cut to clear the way for Barca to recruit new stars.

Messi's future is one of the most interesting stories in football right now. Messi's contract with Barca only expires in June. PSG and Man City are said to be the two clubs ready to welcome the Barca captain. According to Give Me Sport, PSG is ready to give Messi a 2-year contract, with an automatic 1-year extension clause. Messi's income in Paris will not be lower than the current one.
Man City once wanted to pursue Messi in the summer of 2020, but failed because of Barca's tough move. At this time, the possibility of Man City returning to the deal to recruit Messi is left open. This season, Messi played 43 matches, scored 34 goals and had 14 assists. At the age of 33, Messi maintained an impressive scoring performance to lead the race for "Top scorer" La Liga. In the top 5 European national championships, Messi's achievements are equivalent to Cristiano Ronaldo, Erling Haaland and only behind Robert Lewandowski.
