Former goalkeeper Vo Van Hanh - who became famous from SLNA, has decided to leave Phu Dong Ninh Binh after 2 seasons.

At the beginning of the 2023 season, Vo Van Hanh decided to move to work for Phu Dong Ninh Binh.

In the past two seasons (2023 - 2024), the former goalkeeper from Phu Yen has completed his duties well, contributing significantly to helping Phu Dong Ninh Binh finish 7th and 5th in the National First Division.

However, with the desire to seek challenges in a new environment, Vo Van Hanh said goodbye to Phu Dong Ninh Binh right before the 2024/2025 season. It is known that the former goalkeeper born in 1974 is being contacted by a number of teams.

Before becoming the "deputy" to coach Nguyen Van Dan at Phu Dong Ninh Binh, Vo Van Hanh held the role of goalkeeper coach at Quang Nam, Ho Chi Minh City Club, U19 Vietnam and Vietnam National Team.

During his professional career, Vo Van Hanh was the number 1 goalkeeper of Song Lam Nghe An (1999 - 2002), Hoang Anh Gia Lai (2002 - 2005), SHB Da Nang (2005 - 2010) and Khatoco Khanh Hoa (2010 - 2012).

After more than a decade of playing football, Vo Van Hanh has won many titles such as V.League championship, National Cup and National Super Cup - all in the colors of Song Lam Nghe An, Hoang Anh Gia Lai and SHB Da Nang.

It can be affirmed that Song Lam Nghe An is the team that made Vo Van Hanh famous. Don't forget, the coaching staff of the Nghe An team discovered Vo Van Hanh's talent during a training session in Phu Yen.

Thanks to his excellent performances for Song Lam Nghe An, Vo Van Hanh was called up to the Vietnam National Team to participate in the AFF Cup 2022, and won the Vietnam Golden Ball award in 2001 (the first goalkeeper to be awarded this award).

Hopefully, the former goalkeeper of Song Lam Nghe An will continue to reap success in the future, just like the nickname that Vietnamese football fans once gave him, "King Midas" - everything he touches turns to gold.
