Fired coach Marian Mihail, FLC Thanh Hoa invites Ljupko Petrovic back?
After a heavy 1-3 defeat against Sanna Khanh Hoa BVN on the afternoon of April 5, the leaders of FLC Thanh Hoa Club decided to take action.
As expected, with just one more defeat, coach Marian Mihail will face a bleak future. And what had to come, came, after the humiliating 1-3 loss in the make-up match of round 1 of V.League 2018, the Romanian strategist was officially fired.
In nearly 4 months since taking office, the 59-year-old coach has not been able to help the Thanh Hoa team improve much in terms of expertise. In some aspects, the team's playing style has even been assessed as bland, unimpressive and completely inferior to that of his predecessor Ljupko Petrovic.
After 4 matches in V.League, with 2 wins and 2 losses, the former Technical Director of Romanian Football Federation has not been able to gain the trust of the team's leadership. Before that, they were also very patient in giving Mr. Mihail a chance after extremely poor performances in the AFC Cup arena.
Currently, FLC Thanh Hoa has not announced the identity of the new head coach. However, according to a private source of Goal.com, the possibility of Mr. Ljupko Petrovic being invited back to Thanh Hoa is completely possible. Because currently, the 71-year-old wizard is on vacation, completely free.
The representative of this character revealed that if FLC Thanh Hoa made an offer, Mr. Petrovic would not hesitate to return to Vietnam to try his hand once more. However, this is just a hypothesis, because FLC Thanh Hoa's leaders have not yet taken any specific action to promote this deal.
