Vietnamese football has 4 coaches in the TOP 15 of Southeast Asia

(Baonghean.vn) - The prestigious FourFourTwo magazine has listed the 15 best coaches in Asia for fans to vote for. Among them, Vietnamese football dominates the list with 4 faces.

Topping the list last year was Ange Postecoglou, who is currently in charge of the Australian national team. This time, he is likely to be voted number one again.

Not only that, Ange Postecoglou also helped the Australian team get very close to the record of 04 consecutive times qualifying for the FIFA World Cup. If he can do this, Ange Postecoglou will become the second person to be able to lead the Australian team to participate in the World Cup.

Until 2019 - that is, until the next AFC Asian Cup - this man will still be remembered as an icon. And I believe his name will still be remembered forever.

He is the only coach (in over three decades) in the ASEAN Football Federation to be able to lead his national team to the AFC Asian Cup trophy.

The Vietnam U23 team has impressed football fans by advancing straight to the AFC U23 Championship next year, after finishing second in the standings following a 1-2 loss to South Korea in the final match - a team that has reached the quarter-finals of two Olympic Games.

Only after Ange Postecoglou is coach Nguyen Huu Thang. Rarely has a national team head coach in the TOP 15 this time had to "take on" as much work as Nguyen Huu Thang of the Vietnam team. Looking back, the past time has been an extraordinary effort for this man from Central Vietnam.

In a way, the Vietnam team was unfortunate to lose in the semi-finals of the AFF Suzuki Cup 2016 after playing one of the most exciting matches of the tournament. Coach Huu Thang not only has a talented generation at his disposal but also possesses a squad with the most impressive speed and attacking style of play in the region.

In addition to Coach Nguyen Huu Thang, Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's ​​achievements in the 2016 V.League championship of Hanoi Club and the current achievements of the capital team. Along with Coach Hoang Anh Tuan in the achievement of leading U20 Vietnam to compete in the U20 World Cup, Coach Phan Thanh Hung, Vietnamese football has 4 coaches evaluated by this magazine and decided to be included in the voting list.
