Is it too soon for Le Quoc Vuong to be a coach in V.League?
(Baonghean.vn) - Former U23 Vietnam player Le Quoc Vuong has officially become assistant to head coach Pham Anh Tuan at Hai Phong Club. This is very surprising news for experts and football fans in the country.
Le Quoc Vuong only received his AFC C coaching certificate at the end of 2019. During the past time, after retiring from his football career (in 2013), the former midfielder born in 1983 has been doing jobs that are not related to football, except for interviews or commentating on matches of U23 Vietnam and the Vietnam National Team. It can be seen that Le Quoc Vuong has almost no coaching experience at this time.
In fact, Le Quoc Vuong is not a special case in the world of football, that is, being an assistant coach of the first team without having worked in the youth teams. Not to mention, in the past at SLNA, coach Nguyen Duc Thang was also appointed to the coaching staff of the Nghe An team, right after retiring from his "shorts and jersey" career. Even former center back Nguyen Huy Hoang became a "deputy general" while still playing on the field.

In such a working environment, Le Quoc Vuong will feel less bewildered in his new position. Being a collaborator for highly skilled and experienced teachers such as Coach Pham Anh Tuan and Coach Dinh Van Dung will be of great help to Le Quoc Vuong's teaching career in the future. Hopefully, Le Quoc Vuong will successfully take advantage of the opportunity to fully develop his inherent abilities, which he has always shown in newspaper interviews and television commentary.

Now Le Quoc Vuong has become the coach of “a team in V.League”, even though he is only an assistant. Ahead of the 37-year-old coach are many obstacles and challenges. If he studies seriously, success will come to Le Quoc Vuong, because as Lu Xun wrote: “In fact, there is no road on the ground. People walk on it for a long time and it becomes a road”. Sooner or later? Le Quoc Vuong’s efforts and time will give the most accurate answer./.
