Tomorrow's training sessions will be led by talented coach Nicky Hayen. Sint-Truiden FC has announced the dismissal of coach Marc Brys on its website.
After round 16, the Belgian national championship club Sint-Truiden is temporarily ranked 11th (having only played 15 matches), winning 5 matches, drawing 3 and losing 7, earning 18 points. Currently, it is 18 points behind the top team Brugge and only 10 points away from the bottom team on the table.
Sint-Truiden FC fired
Coach Marc Brys is said to be responsible for “dull attack and poor defense” when he scored only 14 goals but conceded 25. The team that finished 7th last season is nowhere to be seen. Sint-Truiden fans continuously express their disappointment in the stands and on social networks.
After good media signals at the beginning of the season, Cong Phuong was not on the list for 11 matches and was criticized by the Belgian press, who said that this was a bad contract. In fact, not only Cong Phuong but also Asian stars from Japan or Korea such as Ito, Suzuki, Lee Seung Woo are also facing difficulties.

"STVV has announced the termination of its cooperation with Marc Brys and his technical team. The Antwerp-born coach arrived at Stayen last season after a long spell at Beerschot. The club provided him with the best possible working conditions.
In the first season, Marc Brys and his colleagues created an impressive season. We were at times competing for a place in the Play-off group to win the championship. Brys was nominated for the Raymond Goethals Trophy.
However, this season has been full of ups and downs, with 18 points and 11th place. After the loss to Charleroi last week, the Board of Directors decided to end their cooperation with Marc Brys and his assistants.
STVV thanks them for their cooperation, professionalism and working style, wishing them new success ahead.
Tomorrow's training sessions will be led by talented coach Nicky Hayen".
The temporary replacement for Mr. Marc Brys is the B team coach Nicky Hayen. Being able to play at Sint-Truiden is not easy for Asian players, including Cong Phuong. But not being named on the reserve list by coach Marc Brys is considered a failure for this HAGL player.
New Opportunity
Since entering the field in the match against Club Brugge in round 2, people have not seen Cong Phuong used again. Even after 11 rounds, Cong Phuong's name is not on the registered list of players.

For a former top star of Vietnamese football, after his trips abroad, he is now just a shadow. Entering the field, Cong Phuong is simply a disturbance, holding the ball to waste time is a huge waste.
When: “Sint-Truiden says goodbye to Marc Brys and his assistants. The club thanks Marc Brys and his assistants for their good cooperation, professionalism and work and wishes them good luck with their further careers” is it also time to open up new opportunities for Cong Phuong?
This depends largely on Cong Phuong himself. Vietnamese fans are waiting for this striker to have a chance to enter the field and score.
