Coach Truong Viet Hoang says goodbye to Hai Phong Club

During a meeting with the team's leadership on the afternoon of November 15, Coach Truong Viet Hoang asked to leave the hot seat even though his contract with Hai Phong Club was until the end of the 2018 season.

Before round 25, head coach of the Hai Phong team, Mr. Truong Viet Hoang, officially asked to leave the coaching position and nominated assistant Nguyen Duc Canh to be the interim coach after the end of the 2017 season.

The former The Cong player has asked the team's leadership to terminate his contract one year in advance for personal reasons. Many rumors say that he will return to lead Da Nang Club to replace his colleague Le Huynh Duc.

However, Mr. Tran Manh Hung, Chairman of Hai Phong Club, refused to answer this question because he thought it was an internal matter of the club. The club's leadership has not yet made a final decision on Coach Truong Viet Hoang's decision to resign.

Coach Truong Viet Hoang parted ways with Hai Phong Club after 3 years leading the team from the port city.

Midfielder Vuong Quoc Trung of Hai Phong Club said that Coach Truong Viet Hoang came to talk and say goodbye to the players last night (November 15). However, this afternoon (November 16), the whole team still went to the training ground as usual to prepare for the match against HAGL because there has not been a final decision from the club's leadership.

Before becoming the head coach of Hai Phong FC in 2014, Coach Truong Viet Hoang was a member of the Hanoi T&T training center, under the management of Mr. Hien. This is the reason leading to doubts that Coach Truong Viet Hoang will go to Da Nang to succeed his colleague.

In the recent match between Hai Phong Club and Da Nang Club on November 4, Coach Truong Viet Hoang and Coach Le Huynh Duc had mixed emotions while standing on the pitch.

Previously, Coach Le Huynh Duc announced that he would leave Da Nang Club after the end of the 2017 season.

Coach Huynh Duc felt discouraged after the defeat. He said that his team was no longer in contention for medals, so the players played poorly and lacked ambition. Meanwhile, Coach Truong Viet Hoang declared that Hai Phong deserved to win 2-0 because they were superior in terms of skills.

According to the schedule of the penultimate round of V.League 2017, Hai Phong FC will host HAGL FC at home at 5pm on November 19. Assistant coach Nguyen Duc Canh will most likely be the interim head coach of the port city team, while the leadership has not yet found a replacement for coach Truong Viet Hoang.

Previously, Coach Le Huynh Duc announced that he would leave Da Nang Club after the end of the 2017 season. After more than 10 years of working and dedicating himself to Da Nang Club, Coach Le Huynh Duc officially said goodbye to the Han River team after this year's season ended.
