Vietnam team is about to have a new technical director who attended the World Cup?
The appearance of former coach Philippe Troussier, who led the Japanese team at the 2002 World Cup, at Thong Nhat Stadium has created rumors about the upcoming position of Technical Director of Vietnamese football.
A few minutes before the match between Ho Chi Minh City Club and Hanoi Club took place, Thong Nhat Stadium suddenly had the appearance of the head coach of the Vietnam U19 team, Hoang Anh Tuan, and a very special guest, Mr. Philippe Troussier.
Right after talking with the staff of Thong Nhat Stadium and getting the list of players, both of them went up to the stands to watch the match. Coach Philippe Troussier had a lot of discussion with Coach Hoang Anh Tuan about the list of players of the two clubs.

The appearance of the former captain who led the Japanese team to the 2002 World Cup, won the Asian championship... as well as led many teams from Asia, Africa... has sparked rumors that Mr. Philippe Troussier will take the position of Technical Director of Vietnamese football in the near future.
The rumor has more basis when not long from now, in June, the current Technical Director of the Vietnam team, Mr. Gede, will end his contract, and this means that this important position is vacant...
It is not known whether the French strategist will sit in the chair of chief architect of Vietnamese football, as well as whether the VFF can "bear the heat" with the huge salary that Mr. Philippe Troussier usually receives. But the fact that a former coach who participated in the World Cup came to Vietnam to watch the V-League does not always happen...
