Ho Chi Minh City FC has experienced certain difficulties since coach Chung Hae Soung left. Therefore, the Korean coach determined: “At this time, my goal is to restore the players’ mentality and spirit. Fortunately, V.League has not resumed yet and I will have more time. As for expertise, my assistants and I will calculate appropriate expertise.”

With the reunification of the coaches, the V.League runners-up also have changes in the Executive Committee. Accordingly, Nguyen Van Thuan will no longer be the captain of Ho Chi Minh City Club, instead it will be defender Sam Ngoc Duc and vice-captain Ngo Hoang Thinh.
