Notable 'contract breaking' cases before the 2020 season
(Baonghean.vn) - Stories of players and coaches suddenly changing teams at the "last minute" have become no longer rare in Vietnamese football in recent years.
Mr. Duc does not lend troops to Binh Dinh.
During the past time, Thanh Son, Thanh Binh, Hoai Nam... have been practicing with coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team to prepare for the 2020 season, on loan from HAGL. However, a few days ago, Mr. Duc suddenly "summoned" all 8 of his players back to the Ham Rong headquarters.

This also means that Binh Dinh football team will participate in the 2020 season without any "reinforcements" from HAGL, just like Mr. Duc's initial promise. Immediately after returning from Binh Dinh, the group of 8 players mentioned above had to pack their luggage and go to Hanoi to play for the Second Division team Cong An Nhan Dan.
Coach Ngo Quang Truong leads SLNA
Coach Nguyen Duc Thang’s resignation right before this year’s season has put SLNA’s Board of Directors in a passive position. With no other possible way, the Nghe An team had to “recall” Coach Ngo Quang Truong from Hai Phong to take over the “hot seat” at Vinh Stadium.

Before returning to his hometown, coach Ngo Quang Truong was chosen by the Hai Phong football team's leadership to be the successor of Truong Viet Hoang, the strategist who left the Port City after the 2019 season. Currently, the captain of Hai Phong is coach Pham Anh Tuan, a former SLNA player.
Midfielder Le Tan Tai joins Hong Linh Ha Tinh
At the end of last season, the contract between the former midfielder of the Vietnam National Team and B.Binh Duong officially expired. Because he was not in the plan of the coaching staff of the team, Le Tan Tai had to accept leaving Go Dau Stadium to find a new destination.

It was thought that the hometown team - Sanna Khanh Hoa BVN would be the next and possibly the last stop for the player born in 1984, but the "remarriage" did not become a reality. In the end, Le Tan Tai decided to join the rookie Hong Linh Ha Tinh with a contract for 1 season.
From now until the 2020 season kicks off, there will likely still be "deal-breaking" cases that will leave experts and Vietnamese football fans "eyes wide open"./.
