'Points' of shaky V.League coaching seats
(Baonghean.vn) - After only 3 rounds, 2 coaches have left and 2 others have left, their fates are very uncertain. V.League 2020 is really harsh even though only 1 team has been relegated to the First Division.
After Saigon, Thanh Hoa is the second team to change head coach. Coach Fabio Lopez was just fired after losing 2-1 to home team Quang Nam. After coach Duc Thang left, Thanh Hoa is in a coaching crisis.
Mr. De takes action
This time, the hot seat is occupied by young coach Thanh Cong, originally from SLNA. Surprisingly, Mr. De chose to let the players vote to decide the fate of this foreign coach after 3 empty matches at the beginning of the season. In fact, the long-distance play to let Dinh Tung and Hoang Vu Samson handle things on their own was ineffective due to the burden of age.

Thanh Hoa Club leaders also decided to choose Mai Xuan Hop as assistant coach for Nguyen Thanh Cong. Mai Xuan Hop has just returned from Hue to Thanh Hoa to take up a new assignment. This young coach is currently leading Thanh Hoa U19 to compete in the 2020 National U19 Championship qualifying round.
The No. 1 position is shaky.
It seems that after 3 empty matches, Coach Le Huynh Duc's position is also shaky. People are very surprised that instead of winning people's hearts, Coach Le Huynh Duc has let go of a series of pillars of the team such as Huy Toan, Do Merlo and used a lot of criticism towards Ha Duc Chinh throughout last season.

Coach Lee Tae-hoon speaks out about the humiliating defeat
Coach Lee Tae-hoon has spoken up to take responsibility for the humiliating 0-3 defeat at Hang Day Stadium. A match in which Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's team only needed less than 30 minutes to score 2 goals against HAGL. In the first 45 minutes, the away team did not even have a shot, only holding the ball for 41% of the time.
The pride of Mr. Duc and HAGL fans was hurt when throughout the 90 minutes, the players of the Mountain City only had 1 shot on target. 2 out of 3 goals of the home team Hanoi FC were scored by Rimario, a former player of HAGL. Even if they had been more careful, HAGL would have lost by 5-6 goals instead of just 3-0.

D.Mermovic is a shining center back in SLNA. It seemed that the addition of center back Mermovic, or defensive midfielder Kelly Kester had brought positive changes to HAGL, but on Hang Day Stadium, their defense was shown to be too loose. Certainly, coach Lee Tae-hoon is the first person to take responsibility, but in just 4 years, Mr. Duc has "fired" 6 generals, so even if he replaces the Korean coach now, HAGL will still find it difficult to improve its position.
