A memorable year for Pham Xuan Manh
The former player of Song Lam Nghe An had a quite successful year, culminating in the 2024 ASEAN Cup championship.
At Hanoi Club,Pham Xuan Manhis often used by coach Le Duc Tuan. And the player born in 1996 always completes the assigned tasks well. It can be said that the right-back position of the capital team in recent times has been assigned to the player nicknamed "Manh Kalou".

Up to this point in V.League 2024/2025, Pham Xuan Manh has played 11 matches, including 10 starting matches, with a total duration of 889 minutes. Accordingly, no player of Hanoi Club has had more time on the field than the former Song Lam Nghe An player.
However, the capital team's performance in V.League 2024/2025 is quite disappointing. After 11 rounds, coach Le Duc Tuan and his team have only won 17 points and are temporarily in 4th place. The latest match of Hanoi Club was a 0-1 defeat to the visiting team Hoang Anh Gia Lai.
Thanks to his impressive performances for Hanoi Club, Pham Xuan Manh was continuously called up to the Vietnam national team to participate in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, 2023 Asian Cup and 2024 ASEAN Cup. Notably, under coach Kim Sang-sik, Pham Xuan Manh is considered an "irreplaceable pillar".

The proof is that at the ASEAN Cup 2024, Pham Xuan Manh was used by the Korean strategist in 6/8 matches. In addition to the right center-back position, Pham Xuan Manh also played the positions of right-back, left-back and central center-back. In any position, "Manh Kalou" played very impressively.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Pham Xuan Manh is one of the best players of the tournament.Vietnam teamat the recent ASEAN Cup. It should be noted that with the 2024 ASEAN Cup championship, Pham Xuan Manh has won the first major title with the Vietnamese team after many years of dedication./.
