Coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his fate with U23 Vietnam
(Baonghean.vn) - As one of the coaches with the most knowledge about Vietnamese football, especially youth football, it is not surprising that coach Hoang Anh Tuan was chosen by VFF to be the head coach of the Vietnam U23 team to participate in the upcoming U23 Asian tournament.
The most recent person to bring Vietnamese football to a title is coach Hoang Anh Tuan. With a B team consisting of many very young players, this coach from Khanh Hoa led U23 Vietnam to the title of the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 tournament after defeating U23 Indonesia in the final match.
The first person to bring Vietnamese football (11-a-side football) to the World Cup was also coach Hoang Anh Tuan. Under the leadership of this 56-year-old coach, U20 Vietnam participated in the U20 World Cup 2017 for the first time.
These things partly demonstrate the talent and qualities of coach Hoang Anh Tuan, who started his coaching career at Khanh Hoa Club. His affinity with youth football was immediately demonstrated when coach Hoang Anh Tuan led Khanh Hoa U21 to win the National U21 Championship in 2007.
Also in the 2007 season, the coach born in 1968 successfully "put out the fire" for Khanh Hoa's first team when he helped them stay in the league in the last 7 matches (won 4, drew 1 and lost 2). After successfully staying in the league, coach Hoang Anh Tuan continued to build the coastal city team into a team with an annoying playing style despite financial constraints.
After a period of time as head coach at Khanh Hoa Club, coach Hoang Anh Tuan was appointed assistant head coach of the Vietnam National Team and coach of the youth teams of the Vietnam National Team. This was a period of time that gave the coach from Khanh Hoa the opportunity to monitor and train young talents of the country.
Quang Hai, Hoang Duc and Tien Linh were led by coach Hoang Anh Tuan in the U20 Vietnam team to create a memorable milestone of participating in the U20 World Cup 2017 for the first time. This is also the launching pad for the career development of the current stars of the Vietnam National Team.
The appointment of Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan as head coach of the Vietnam U23 Team is a completely correct decision of the VFF. Because, in the current composition of the Vietnam U23 Team, most of the players have worked with this 56-year-old coach. They are members of the Vietnam U20 team participating in the 2023 U20 Asian Cup or members of the Vietnam U23 team that won the Southeast Asian U23 Championship and participated in the 2023 ASIAD. Therefore, coach Hoang Anh Tuan can easily grasp the strengths and weaknesses of the players to maximize their effectiveness on the field.
Not only does the 56-year-old coach understand young players, he is also a very strict teacher. But this strictness will help young players improve and become more mature in the future. And this strictness will help build a highly disciplined team, especially for a young team.
There are only 2 weeks left for coach Hoang Anh Tuan to prepare for the U23 Asian tournament. This is not a long time, but Vietnamese fans believe that the understanding of domestic football of this coach born in 1968 will help U23 Vietnam achieve many good results at the upcoming tournament in Qatar./.
