Foreign player Michael Olaha joined SLNA from V.League 2017. He played for the Nghe An team for 3 seasons and became the most important foreign player in the Vinh team's playing style.
In V.League 2019, he was extended a 1-year contract by SLNA and scored 3 goals for the team. However, after returning from Ho Chi Minh City, this foreign player born in 1997 went to Israel to complete negotiations.

According to information on the Instagram page of Hapoel Tel-Aviv Club from Israel, this team announced that it has successfully recruited a foreign player from SLNA. The contract is for 4 years and the signing fee was not disclosed.
However, according to Michael Olaha, he will continue to play for SLNA until the end of V.League 2019 before deciding whether to join a new team or not. He shared with Nghe An Newspaper reporter: "It is just a preliminary contract and not official, I will decide whether to leave or stay at SLNA at the end of the season."
The club that Olaha is expected to join is a traditional team, having participated in the UEFA Champions League in 2011 and continuously participated in the Europa League. At the end of the 2018-2019 season, this team ranked 2nd overall in the Israeli National Championship.
This is a surprising news for Nghe An fans because SLNA is in the process of completing the squad and looking for another foreign player to replace Alves Santos. Currently, SLNA's coaching staff is testing about 10 foreign players to prepare for the second phase of V.League 2019./.
