Coach Calisto has not yet accepted an offer from the VFF.

(Baonghean) Following reports that coach Calisto had expressed his desire to return to Vietnam to coach the national team, yesterday afternoon, the Portuguese coach spoke out to affirm: "No one has spoken to me about this matter. Perhaps the VFF leadership has said something to reporters, but up to this point, no one has spoken directly to me."

For now, Coach Calisto has only planned to visit Vietnam to see friends and his former pupil Cong Vinh, who recently became a father, but he hasn't set a specific date yet.

Coach Calisto has not yet returned to the Vietnamese national team.

Thus, the information that coach Calisto had expressed interest in returning to Vietnam to work if the VFF met his working conditions - as a VFF leader revealed to the press - has been denied by the person involved.

Coach Calisto, despite still being in the waiting period for a job in his native Portugal, is not entirely ready to return to Vietnam to work, especially since he understands the reality of Vietnamese football and the working methods of the VFF all too well.
