After coach Pham Anh Tuan resigned, Song Lam Nghe An immediately announced a new coaching staff with head coach Phan Nhu Thuat.
Change of generals changes of fortune
The saying "change of fate" is quite appropriate.Lam River Nghe Anin recent years. Last season, after coach Pham Anh Tuan took over, this coach born in 1970 helped the Nghe An team have 5 consecutive unbeaten matches (3 wins, 2 draws), thereby contributing to helping Song Lam Nghe An successfully stay in the league.

Or in the 2023 season, coach Phan Nhu Thuat also played the role of a substitute when he replaced coach Nguyen Huy Hoang. In the first 4 matches in charge, this coach born in 1984 helped Song Lam Nghe An win 3 and draw 1. Notably, the 1-0 victory over Hanoi Club right at Hang Day Stadium.
Therefore, Nghe An fans can completely hope that the saying "change of generals changes fortunes" will "appear" with Song Lam Nghe An in the upcoming matches.
Phan Nhu Thuat and young players
During his time in charge of the 2023 and 2023/2024 seasons, coach Phan Nhu Thuat prioritized using many young players. This coach, born in 1984, even boldly gave the captain's armband to goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet, who is only 21 years old.

Coach Phan Nhu Thuat's belief and encouragement have helped the young players play more confidently to gradually assert themselves at Song Lam Nghe An. Therefore, with coach Phan Nhu Thuat taking over for the second time, Nghe An fans hope that this coach born in 1984 will lift the players' spirits, thereby bringing good results to the team.
Playing style under coach Phan Nhu Thuat
During his "first term" in command,Coach Phan Nhu Thuathas built a relatively clear style of play at Song Lam Nghe An. That is short and medium range coordination. The players actively move to create spaces for the attacking players to exploit.

This style of play created the 6-2 victory or the 4-4 draw of the Nghe An team last season. These are the matches in which Song Lam Nghe An scored the most goals in recent seasons. Therefore, the arrival of coach Phan Nhu Thuat as head coach is expected to bring new features to Song Lam Nghe An's playing style in the upcoming rounds.
Lessons learned
In his first time in charge, coach Phan Nhu Thuat did his job quite well. After 27 matches, this coach born in 1984 had 9 wins, 7 draws and 11 losses. However, poor preparation and lack of experience in coaching caused this coach born in 1984 to suffer a series of 9 consecutive matches without a win. This poor performance forced coach Phan Nhu Thuat to leave the "hot seat" at Song Lam Nghe An.

However, that is a valuable lesson for coach Phan Nhu Thuat on the path of "holding the sand table". These valuable experiences will help Phan Nhu Thuat come up with strategies to help prevent crises atNghe An football team.
Therefore, in this return, Nghe An fans expect coach Phan Nhu Thuat to become more comprehensive to help the home team overcome this difficult period.
