After leaving Hai Phong, the striker born in 1991 joined coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team, with a contract lasting until the end of the 2019 season. At Thong Nhat Stadium, the player from Thanh Chuong often appeared in the starting lineup. In some matches, the former SLNA player even wore the captain's armband. According to information obtained by Nghe An Newspaper, it is likely that Nguyen Dinh Bao will continue to wear the Saigon Club shirt next season.
Midfielder Vuong Quoc Trung

Similar to Nguyen Dinh Bao, Vuong Quoc Trung also had to leave Lach Tray Stadium in the middle of this season. The next destination of the midfielder born in 1990 is Thanh Hoa, with a contract until the end of the 2019 season. Since arriving at the Thanh team, the former SLNA and Hai Phong player has played 6 times. If Thanh Hoa is successful in staying in the league, it is very likely that Vuong Quoc Trung will be retained by Thanh Hoa with a new contract. Ahead of Vuong Quoc Trung are 2 extremely important matches for Thanh Hoa, against Viettel and B.Binh Duong.

The player from Dien Chau has just successfully stayed in the National First Division 2019 with the team from Tay Do (XSKT Can Tho finished in the second to last position). At this time, Nguyen Van Manh is in his hometown to rest, after a hard season. It is known that the contract between the defender born in 1993 and XSKT Can Tho has officially expired. However, the possibility that the two sides will continue to accompany each other in the 2020 season is not small. Hopefully, Nguyen Van Manh will be retained by XSKT Can Tho or will wear the shirt of a team playing in the V.League arena.
Midfielder Truong Van Thanh

In the 2019 season, the Tan Ky player joined the First Division team - Hue Football Club. At the Co Do team, Truong Van Thanh is one of the important "cards" on the attack line of coach Nguyen Duc Dung, along with two famous strikers Tran Thanh (U19 Vietnam) and Tran Danh Trung (U22 Vietnam). The achievement of ranking 6th in the 2019 National First Division of Hue Football Club, is largely due to the midfielder born in 1991. Currently, Truong Van Thanh has completed a 1-season contract with the Tu Do Stadium team./
