Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong suddenly leaves Ha Tinh Club due to health reasons
According to the latest news, Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong has reached an agreement to leave Ha Tinh Club after the 2024/25 season. Although the contract is still long-term, the coach born in 1977 has proactively expressed his wish to resign due to health reasons.

According to the investigation, Coach Thanh Cong's request to resign was initially not accepted by the team's leadership. The owner Pham Hoanh Son encouraged and asked Coach Thanh Cong to stay and continue to "steer" the team. However, in response to the legitimate wishes of the Nghe An strategist, the Board of Directors of the Hong Mountain team agreed to let Coach Thanh Cong leave.
Coach Thanh Cong's departure from Ha Tinh is certainly surprising and regrettable news for fans of this team. In V.League 2024/25, under the leadership of the 48-year-old coach, Ha Tinh had an impressive performance, finishing in the top 5. This is also the highest achievement in the history of the Hong Mountain team since being promoted to V.League.
Ha Tinh, under the leadership of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, has been unbeaten in 13 consecutive rounds since the beginning of the season. They were only "decoded" when they lost 0-1 to Hai Phong in round 14. Ha Tinh became the "phenomenon" of the season when they played extremely impressively, finishing in 5th place, and only lost 4 matches, having the fewest number of goals conceded in V.League 2024/25, second only to the champion Nam Dinh.
During more than 4 years leading Ha Tinh, Coach Thanh Cong has always built this team into a united collective. Although not possessing many quality stars in the squad, Ha Tinh still demonstrated an organized playing style and achieved quite impressive results.
