1. Le Thuy Hai

Mr. Hai "lo" once won the National Football Championship with the General Department of Vietnam Railways in 1980. When he was still playing, Le Thuy Hai played as a midfielder. The current head coach of the Vietnam Women's Football Team, Mai Duc Chung, is Mr. Hai's former teammate. Both were present in the "Unification Match" between Saigon Port and the General Department of Railways, which took place on November 7, 1976.

After moving to coaching, Le Thuy Hai also won many noble titles. B.Binh Duong's 3 V.League championships in the 2007, 2008 and 2014 seasons are clear proof. At this time, Le Thuy Hai has retired from his coaching career and is living with pancreatic cancer. It can be affirmed that Mr. Hai is one of the most successful strategists in Vietnamese football, at the club level.

2. Coach Le Huynh Duc

The strategist born in 1972 is the second person in Vietnam to have that honor. Not only is he a member of the Ho Chi Minh City Police that won the National Football Championship in 1995 (main striker), Le Huynh Duc is also the "captain" ofSHB Da Nangg - the team won the championship at V.League 2009 and V.League 2012.
