Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong replaces Tai Em in the "hot seat" at Saigon FC
Due to the poor performance of his team in recent times, Coach Phan Van Tai Em has officially said goodbye to Saigon FC. The person taking over the hot seat of this former Vietnam national team player is Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong.
This decision was made by Coach Tai Em after returning with the team from a 2-3 defeat to SLNA in round 16. Talking about his decision to leave his team, the veteran midfielder said: “I will withdraw from the position of head coach of Saigon FC. I leave the team because I cannot help Saigon FC's performance go up but down. I hope that my departure will help the team have a new breath of life. I wish my teammates to continue to stay and play well. Even though I leave, I will always follow the team's journey.”
The person appointed to replace Coach Tai Em as the “captain” of Saigon FC is assistant coach Nguyen Thanh Cong. Although this is the first time the young coach from Nghe An has led a team in the V.League, his name is already known to many people when working in youth training.
The son of veteran coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh was once the "favorite" teacher of the generation of Nguyen Manh, Hoang Thinh, Ngoc Hai, Phi Son, Khac Ngoc... at SLNA before.
