Vietnam Football Federation pampers Korean coach to the fullest!

Although he has not yet led the Vietnamese national team, Coach Park Hang Seo has "beaten" many of his predecessors by forcing the VFF to accept a "demand" of decisive professional importance: hiring a Korean colleague to be his number 1 assistant at the Vietnamese national team!

Please Coach Park to the fullest

The contract signed on October 11 made Coach Park Hang Seo the captain of the Vietnamese team for 2 years. The Korean coach took over the position left by Coach Huu Thang after the failure at the 29th SEA Games with specific constraints on achievements.

Coach Park Hang Seo is happier than his predecessors because his request to have a fellow countryman as an assistant was approved by the VFF.

VFF General Secretary Le Hoai Anh said that the performance targets are very specific, but VFF and the future head coach cannot reveal the details yet. Partly, this is for VFF and coach Park Hang Seo to finalize the details with each other. But this Korean coach also revealed that he wants to help the Vietnamese team succeed at the 2019 Asian Cup and the Olympic qualifiers.

In return for meeting specific targets, VFF must also... fully satisfy the "demands" set by Coach Park Hang Seo. The proof is that VFF has agreed to let this Korean coach have a fellow countryman assistant in the coaching team of the Vietnamese national team. The regime of Coach Park Hang Seo's number 1 assistant is also paid by VFF.

In addition, Coach Park Hang Seo also has Vietnamese assistants to assist him during his 2 years leading the Vietnamese team. VFF General Secretary Le Hoai Anh said that VFF does not limit the number of Vietnamese assistants in the technical cabin under Coach Park Hang Seo.

VFF gives green light for coach Park Hang Seo to choose Vietnamese assistant freely

“The VFF will advise, and Mr. Park Hang Seo will consult to decide. Professional issues, including choosing an assistant, are decided by the head coach. The VFF has the responsibility to meet professional requirements in the best way to support Coach Park Hang Seo in his challenging position,” said Mr. Le Hoai Anh.

Because Coach Park caught the "disease"?

The schedule of Coach Park Hang Seo's visit to Vietnam is kept secret by the VFF. However, VFF General Secretary Le Hoai Anh affirmed that the future head coach of the Vietnam national team will definitely be present in the VIP seats at My Dinh Stadium to watch the Vietnam-Cambodia match. One day later, the VFF and Coach Park Hang Seo signed a contract to become the head coach of the Vietnam national team. Coach Park then returned to Korea to arrange work, before returning to Vietnam to prepare for his debut against Afghanistan on November 14.

The salary of Coach Park Hang Seo in the hot seat has not been revealed. However, there is information that Coach Park Hang Seo's salary is a record high among the head coaches of the Vietnam national team. This salary is paid by the General Department of Sports and Physical Training and the VFF mobilizes "benefactors" to support the Korean coach.

Coach Park probably learned a lot of "martial arts" from Dutch coach Guu Hiddink.

In fact, the reason why Coach Park Hang Seo is favored by VFF is because this Korean coach accepts the challenge, sitting in an extremely pressured chair. Moreover, it seems that Coach Park has also caught the "disease" of the Vietnamese team, through the research since receiving the invitation from VFF.

Coach Park Hang Seo's request for his number 1 assistant to be a compatriot proves his careful preparation when taking over the hot seat of the Vietnamese team. During Coach Miura's tenure, the Japanese coach asked the VFF to hire another Japanese assistant but was not accepted. Under Coach Huu Thang, the assistant team was not highly appreciated, so the support for the coach from Nghe An was not much, greatly affecting the team's performance.

Coach Park Hang Seo’s demand for a “brain” as a fellow countryman assistant is actually quite normal. Because compared to the Thai team under Kiatisak, Coach Park only has 1 “internal” assistant, which is too little, because Zico Thai always works with a team of nearly 10 assistants and accompanying doctors.

Coach Park “demanded” and was accepted. We just have to wait for the Korean coach to show his talent in the hot seat.
