The incident of the Vietnamese youth table tennis team changing coaches mid-stream, due to the head coach being accused of being irresponsible and not ensuring adequate quality meals for the athletes, has not yet cooled down. The leader of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said that the ministry will not let this incident sink in but will solve the problem at its root. Not only will the coach be dismissed, but those involved will also receive appropriate punishment, setting an example for the teams in general and the youth teams in particular.
Mr. Dang Ha Viet - Director of the Department of Sports and Physical Training emphasized: "We consider this a big lesson and will urgently conduct a thorough review of the training of the teams. This is truly a warning for managers and trainers who do not pay attention to the athletes, only care about personal interests and ignore other issues, including the lives and activities of the athletes".
The Department of Sports and Physical Training will meet after the sports delegation returns from the 19th ASIAD (in China) to unify the training plan of the national teams. Teams that train outside the Hanoi National Sports Training Center will need to be tightened not only in terms of expertise but also in terms of nutrition and travel. Or they can all withdraw to the Hanoi Sports Training Center (like the Vietnamese youth table tennis team after the recent incident). The sports industry will not allow teams to set up their own funds for any purpose (and this fund is held by the coach). The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism also requires units to improve their responsibility in coordinating work, not leaving everything to the coaching staff, avoiding laxity in managing the teams.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism requires individuals and groups involved in the incident to write a self-criticism, explain and report to the Ministry before October 15. These include former head coach of the Vietnam youth table tennis team Bui Xuan Ha; leaders of the High Performance Sports Department 2 under the Department of Sports and Physical Training; table tennis department of the Department of Sports and Physical Training; National Sports Complex; Hanoi Sports Training Center. Based on the explanations of each individual and group, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will have further handling directions.
