Quang Ninh Club returns to Vietnamese football
Quang Ninh Football Development Joint Stock Company has announced its establishment. This unit will be headquartered in Ha Long City with the mission of bringing Quang Ninh FC back to the map of Vietnamese football. The representative is Mr. Doan Khanh Tung with the title of General Director.
The governing body of Quang Ninh Club has 3 shareholders: Duc Thinh Development Construction Joint Stock Company, Mr. Pham Hong Hai and Mr. Ha Tan Dung with charter capital of 200 billion VND.
The journey back to the professional playing field of the open-field team will start from the National Third Division. Quang Ninh Club is currently urgently looking for players and coaching staff.
The team will most likely be led by coach Nguyen Van Dan - who has just left Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club in the National First Division after 2 seasons. Regarding the core force, this team is expected to bring in strikers who have played for Quang Ninh in the V-League and First Division.
It is expected that Quang Ninh Club will launch in August 2024 after completing procedures and preparations.
Previously, Quang Ninh owned a football team with a 65-year history, Than Quang Ninh. However, in October 2021, this team declared bankruptcy when the parent unit encountered financial difficulties.
Enzo Fernandez's first move back to Chelsea
The Argentine midfielder has joined his teammates in the US following the racism scandal.
According to The Athletic, Fernandez met with his teammates and immediately apologized. Previously, the midfielder had repeatedly contacted his Chelsea teammates privately and offered sincere apologies, after the incident of singing a song containing racist words aimed at some black players.
Enzo also voluntarily donated some money to an anti-discrimination charity to make amends. This move is said to have impressed the "The Blues" owners. In return, the London club pledged to donate a corresponding amount through their charity, the "Chelsea Foundation".
At present, the attitude of Chelsea stars towards Enzo is unclear. However, the situation seems to be gradually calming down. "Enzo Fernandez has now trained and had lunch with his teammates," Daily Mail reported.
British media confirmed that Enzo's future at Chelsea is still guaranteed. He was only fined by Chelsea and will have to participate in the club's programs to raise community awareness against racism.
Rich V-League football team adds personnel before new season
Viettel The Cong Club added 2 quality players for the 2024/2025 season, which are center back Nguyen Minh Tung and defender Bui Van Duc.
Talking about recruiting central defender Minh Tung, coach Duc Thang shared: “Minh Tung is an experienced player. He has the ability to command, inform and remind his teammates on the field. Minh Tung's experience will be a complement to the defense of The Cong Viettel.”
Evaluating the new player Bui Van Duc, coach Duc Thang said: “Van Duc has the determination, speed and skill of a left wing attacking defender. That is also the position that The Cong Viettel needs to supplement to strengthen the force and ensure balance for the squad next season.”
In addition to the two names mentioned above, The Cong Viettel also added goalkeeper coach Guilherme Almeida. Mr. Guilherme Almeida used to work for teams in the Brazilian National Championship such as Vasco da Gama or America Mineiro. The strategist born in 1986 also has experience working with Asian teams such as Iran, UAE and Malaysia.
Not only stopping at these 3 new personnel, The Cong Viettel will continue to have new additions to complete the squad for the 2024/2025 season.
Mbappe is about to buy a club
According to Le Parisien, Mbappe is about to become a shareholder of SM Caen, a second-tier team in France, where the 25-year-old star failed to pass the test to join in 2013.
According to French media, the former PSG star has to pay 15 million euros. Accordingly, Mbappe will hold 80% of the shares of the Michel d'Ornano stadium team.
The deal was made through Coalition Capital, an investment fund that manages all of the Mbappe family's investments. At just 25, the new Real Madrid star is likely to become the youngest owner in football history.
Investing in a club is said to be the intention of the French player's family in the past few months. Their goal with SM Caen is to help the Normandy team promote to Ligue 1 as soon as possible.
However, Mbappe is not expected to directly manage the club. He needs to focus more on playing for "Los Blancos". The person expected to replace Real's number 9 to run SM Caen is Ziad Hammoud - CEO of the French player's personal image management company./.
