List of Nghe An coaches who are temporarily 'hanging up their swords'
(Baonghean.vn) - While Coach Ngo Quang Truong and Coach Pham Anh Tuan are holding the role of "captain" at SLNA and Hai Phong, some of their colleagues are temporarily "hanging up their swords" for different reasons.
1.Coach Vu Quang Bao
After helping XSKT Can Tho successfully stay in the National First Division in 2019, Mr. Bao "khoam" returned to his hometown Nghe An to rest. This is the fourth time the strategist born in 1955 has said goodbye to the team from Tay Do. Since then, Coach Vu Quang Bao has not "reappeared" on the coaching bench of any team. The 65-year-old coach has always been highly appreciated for his "firefighting" role. Last season, Coach Vu Quang Bao was appointed to the hot seat twice by Thanh Hoa and XSKT at extremely important times.

2. Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong
Similar to his predecessor Vu Quang Bao, the son of former coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh is also resting with his family, after nearly 2 seasons leading Saigon FC (2018 - 2019). In last year's V.League, under the guidance of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, the Thong Nhat Stadium team ranked 5th and almost won the Bronze Medal when they were only 3 points behind Than Quang Ninh (ranked 3rd) (36 compared to 39). A quite successful season for the strategist born in 1977.

3. Coach Van Sy Son
Before this year's season, the former SLNA left-back suddenly said goodbye to the Hanoi Club's coaching staff. The reason given by coach Van Sy Son was that he needed time to deal with some personal matters. The departure of the strategist from Nghe An greatly affected the strength of the capital team's coaching staff. Because for many years, coach Van Sy Son was the "right-hand man" of head coach Chu Dinh Nghiem.

Almost certainly, at the right time, if they receive a reasonable invitation, the three strategists mentioned above will decide to return to the "sandbox"./.
