On May 28, the clubs competing in V.League 2023/2024 received the list of nominees for the Best Coach of May sent by the Organizing Committee of the National Professional Football Tournaments 2023/2024.
Accordingly, coach Pham Anh Tuan has been named in this list. Also on the nomination list are coach Daiki Iwamasa (coach of Hanoi Club) and coach Nguyen Duc Thang (Viettel The Cong Club).
All three coaches above have gone through 4 rounds and won 10 points for their home clubs. As for coach Pham Anh Tuan, he officially took over the leadership of Song Lam Nghe An from round 18 of V.League 2023/2024. Before that, with a young squad and often only playing against the West, Song Lam Nghe An had gone through 9 matches without knowing the taste of victory.
In round 18, Mr. Tuan helped Song Lam Nghe An win 1 point against Ho Chi Minh City Club. Then in rounds 19, 20, 21, the new captain of the Nghe An team won 9 points for his team. Notably, Song Lam Nghe An won against the 2nd and 3rd teams in the rankings.
With 10 points after 4 matches, Song Lam Nghe An rose from second to last place in the rankings to 11th place, thereby having a full chance to avoid the Play off ticket.
It is known that the best coach of the month of the Vietnam National Football Championship is a football award given to coaches with outstanding achievements in each month of each National Championship season.
The winner of this award is decided through a combination of votes from representatives of the tournament's organizing committee, head coaches of teams in V.League 1 and the Chairman of the National Coaching Council.
With 5 rounds remaining in the Vietnam National Football Championship, Song Lam Nghe An is currently tied on points with the 12th-placed team – Hoang Anh Gia Lai but has a better goal difference. The Nghe team is 1 point ahead of the second-to-last team on the rankings – Hong Linh Ha Tinh. Therefore, the relegation race this season is still very fierce.
