Coaches who 'lost their seats' when facing coach Park
(Baonghean.vn) - In 2 years of accompanying Vietnamese football, Coach Park Hang-seo has brought many impressive achievements to all levels of the national team and during the same period of time, the Korean strategist accidentally caused his colleague to "lose his seat" after confrontations with him.
1.Antoine Hey: "I feel confused when Vietnam national team won against Malaysia"
Since mid-2018, coach Antoine Hey has taken on the responsibility of leading the Myanmar team with the hope of taking the team past the group stage of the AFF Cup 2018. However, fate did not smile on the German coach when the draw of luck put the Myanmar team in a group with Vietnam and Malaysia.

In the following match, Antoine Hey's team drew goalless with Vietnam and had to get a point against Malaysia to reach the semi-finals. But the defeat in the final match forced Myanmar to stop at the group stage and this strategist became the first name to be "out of the street" after accidentally giving an inaccurate assessment of the strength of Coach Park's Vietnam team.
2 Coach Alexandre Gama with the statement "at all costs win at My Dinh"
In June 2019, the Football Association of Thailand officially appointed the Brazilian strategist as head coach of the U23 team.
As the host of the 2020 AFC U23 Championship, U23 Thailand still registered to participate in the qualifying round to gain experience. In Group K, coach Alexandre Gama and his team beat U23 Indonesia 4-0 and U23 Brunei 8-0. Before the final match, with the determination to show their class and level, U23 Thailand wanted to defeat U23 Vietnam to take the top spot in the group and at the same time push U23 Vietnam into a position where they could stop right from the group stage.

3.Coach Sirisak Yodyadthai: "Winning against Vietnam to affirm the No. 1 position in Southeast Asia"
After Milovan Rajevac's failure, coach Sirisak Yodyadthai was the one who made great contributions to helping the Thai team pass the group stage of the 2019 Asian Cup. The Football Association of this country once intended to "circumvent the law" to make him the head coach of the Thai team, but it was not until before the King's Cup was about to take place that FAT was able to carry out its intention.

In the end, Vietnam won 1-0 to advance to the final, Thailand competed for third place with India and continued to fail, finishing fourth in the tournament with 4 participating teams. Coach Sirisak Yodyadthai became the next victim to lose his job when he dared to "tease" Coach Park before the match took place.
4.Coach Simon McMenemy: "We must win at all costs"
After 3 consecutive defeats in the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia, Indonesia returned home to welcome Vietnam in the fourth match of Group G. Building a disjointed team with simple attacking tactics and a "naive" defense, Indonesia could not make it difficult for Vietnam as the English coach declared before the match.

5. Coach Guus Hiddink left because of "the last straw"
Although he did not make any contemptuous remarks about the opponent who was being led by his former assistant, Coach Guus Hiddink has also joined the list of people who have to "go out" after becoming the defeated general of Coach Park Hang-seo. The person who once led South Korea to the semi-finals of the 2002 World Cup had to lose his position after the 0-2 defeat of U22 China right at home in a friendly match that took place on October 10.
In nearly a year of working, the Dutch coach had not been able to make the Chinese U23 team stronger as initially expected by fans and the Chinese Football Association. The loss to the Vietnamese U22 team was just the "last straw" that forced the two sides to end their relationship under the pressure of fans and a team that was still unfinished even though coach Guus Hiddink had been in office for more than 11 months.
