Big boost for SLNA?

According to the new "staffing", Cong Vinh (born in 1985) will be assistant to coach Phan Nhu Thuat (1984) who is studying in the AFC Pro coaching class - qualified to lead V-League clubs.

Cong Vinh's return will bring new colors to Vietnamese football.

But it is not without reason that there is information that it is just a formality, to pave the way for Cong Vinh to create a boost for SLNA, which is currently at the bottom of the table, and has continuously changed 4 head coaches Huy Hoang, Nhu Thuat, Anh Tuan, Nhu Thuat since 2023.
