Leaving Vietnam, Coach Kiatisak receives 'special mission'; VFF appoints new person to replace Coach Hoang Anh Tuan

Leaving Vietnam, Coach Kiatisak receives a "special mission"

Coach Kiatisak Senamuang seems to have received a "special mission" right after unexpectedly parting ways with the Hanoi Police Club.

On May 14, the Thai coach suddenly wrote a farewell letter to the police team after just over 4 months in the "hot seat".

The letter states that Coach Kiatisak will return to his home country of Thailand instead of staying in Vietnam to continue looking for a new job.

Thailand's prestigious sports news site revealed that it is very likely that coach Kiatisak will return home to lead the U23 or Thai national team.

In fact, the position of captain of Thailand U23 is still vacant when coach Issara Sritaro was fired after the failure at the recent 2024 U23 Asian tournament.

If taking this position, the former coach of Hoang Anh Gia Lai will aim for the highest position at SEA Games 33 at home.

It is also possible that Coach Kiatisak will return as captain of the Thai national team, or lead a club in the Thai League.

Meanwhile, Coach Tran Minh Chien regularly participates in the coaching staff of the U17, U20 and U23 Vietnam teams, and is an effective assistant to Coach Hoang Anh Tuan in the achievement of bringing U19 Vietnam to the 2017 FIFA U20 World Cup Finals and winning the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 Championship. Most recently, Coach Tran Minh Chien was trusted to be the acting Head Coach of the U17 Vietnam team during the gathering in April 2024.

New coach appears for the "hot seat" at Man Utd

Brentford coach Thomas Frank is one of the potential candidates to take the "hot seat" at Man United to replace Erik ten Hag.

After the 0-1 home defeat to Arsenal, the British media confirmed that coach Ten Hag's future is almost over. Even if MU wins the FA Cup (against Man City in the final on May 26), Ten Hag will still be fired.

In preparation for next season, the Red Devils' board of directors has put two coaches, Thomas Tuchel and Gareth Southgate, in their sights. In addition, according to the newspaperThe Telegraph, a new character who is also very promising for the "hot seat" at Old Trafford, is Brentford coach Thomas Frank.

The Danish strategist helped Brentford get promoted to the Premier League in 2021 and turned the club into an interesting phenomenon. Despite losing players for various reasons, Brentford has still remained safely in the league after the past 3 seasons.
