Thank you, Coach Ngo Quang Truong!
(Baonghean.vn) - Not long after SLNA suffered a 0-2 defeat against Hai Phong on April 28, coach Truong "buffalo" decided to leave his position as "captain" of the Nghe An team.
Coach InformationNgo Quang Truong says goodbye to SLNAdid not surprise experts and football fans of Nghe An. Because with the miserable situation of the Vinh team this season, the story of Mr. Truong "buffalo" leaving the coaching cabin was only a matter of time.
As the "leader", of course, coach Ngo Quang Truong must take the main responsibility for the team's poor performance. Fans all understand that the strategist born in 1972 has done everything possible to help SLNA return to the winning track, but "he was powerless".

To be fair, Mr. Ngo Quang Truong is not a bad coach. The proof is that when he was working with youth teams, the strategist from Hung Nguyen (Nghe An) won many noble titles as head coach. Typically, the championship of U17 SLNA at the 2012 National U17 Finals.
Unfortunately, in a fierce professional tournament like V.League, Coach Ngo Quang Truong could not achieve success. In both terms as "captain" of SLNA (2015/2016 and 2020/2021), what Coach Ngo Quang Truong did did not reflect his true ability and did not meet the expectations of fans.

In fact, SLNA's poor performance is not entirely the fault of coach Ngo Quang Truong and his colleagues. In recent seasons, while most of their opponents have become stronger, the Nghe An team has only been standing still, even regressing with their outdated and "unlike anyone else" football style. After all, coach Ngo Quang Truong is just a "link" in an old machine.
Perhaps, Mr. Ngo Quang Truong will return to youth training at SLNA, where there are many "young shoots" who need to be nurtured and trained. For now, please rest, Coach Ngo Quang Truong! And please do not forget that in the eyes of Nghe An football fans, you are always a hero with years of dedication to SLNA, both as a player and coach./.
