Ho Chi Minh City FC has terminated the contract with naturalized striker Hoang Vu Samson - who scored 10 goals in all competitions last season. He scored 9 goals in the V-League and 1 goal in the National Cup. Samson contributed greatly to Ho Chi Minh City FC's relegation journey.
However, the two sides could not find a common voice after the 2023 season. Hoang Vu Samson still often has trouble with his home teams. Before coming to Ho Chi Minh City, he had a heated argument with Thanh Hoa Club about his "playing attitude" on the field. In the end, the Thanh Hoa team issued a penalty, Samson did not accept it, sued but lost.
Hoang Vu Samson is considered the most excellent striker in the history of V-League. He has 16 seasons in the highest league of Vietnamese football and scored more than 200 goals. Samson contributed to 3 V-League championships of Hanoi FC. The brilliance of this striker is one of the reasons that helped the capital team build its empire.
But the Nigerian player is also considered a "talented but flawed" person. He has received red cards many times for his aggressive behavior on the field.
Up to this point, Ho Chi Minh City FC has simultaneously said goodbye to 3 other strikers. Former Vietnam national team player Ho Tuan Tai terminated his contract 1 year early. Victor Mansaray and Daniel Green were both removed from coach Vu Tien Thanh's plan even though they also contributed 11 goals last season.
Ho Chi Minh City FC has just extended the contract with midfielder Dao Quoc Gia for another 3 years. This is a diligent player, playing and training professionally even though he is not excellent. In the context of skyrocketing player values, it is not easy for Ho Chi Minh City to get many satisfactory contracts.
In the 2023/2024 season, the financial situation of Ho Chi Minh City Club will improve significantly. They will no longer be short of money like this year.
