Extremely surprising developments in the case of Cong Vinh refusing to return to SLNA: 'I can't…'

November 11 was a day of upheaval for SLNA. At noon, the team announced that they had reached an agreement to terminate the contract with coach Pham Anh Tuan. The strategist resigned as a way to take responsibility for SLNA's poor performance (no wins, bottom of the V-League rankings). In the evening, on the team's official social media page, SLNA announced that the person sitting in the hot seat was coach Phan Nhu Thuat. Mr. Thuat's assistants include Pham Van Quyen, Le Cong Vinh, Pham Bui Minh, Pham Duc Anh and Nguyen Ngoc Anh.

Cong Vinh's unexpected decision left many Nghe An fans disappointed.

However, when the schedule was about to change to the 12th, Cong Vinh suddenly spoke up on his personal page, affirming that he would not return to SLNA. He wrote: "This afternoon, the team's leadership called Vinh to invite Vinh to become Chairman of the coaching council to manage the professional skills of the V-League SLNA team and also manage youth training. Vinh himself is very honored to receive this invitation, but he also needs time to think and arrange his work.

After discussing with his family, due to the urgent time, Vinh could not arrange his current job in Ho Chi Minh City, so Vinh probably could not accept the invitation to return to SLNA to support the team. I hope the leadership and SLNA fans will sympathize with Vinh. Vinh would like to send his best wishes to SLNA and thank you very much for always showing affection for Vinh. In the future, if he can arrange his current job, Vinh hopes to continue to contribute to his hometown team."

As of 0:00 on November 12, SLNA's post about Cong Vinh taking on the role of assistant to coach Phan Nhu Thuat still exists.
