Viettel The Cong Club will say goodbye to all three foreign players: Mohamed Essam, Abdumuminov Jakhongir (also known as Jaha) and Bruno Cunha.
Mohamed Essam has been a disappointment for The Cong Viettel this season. He played 10 matches in the V.League but did not score any goals. Therefore, the army team decided to terminate the contract with the Egyptian player.
Essam attracted attention because he was once a teammate of Mohamed Salah. He was trained at El Mokawloon Club (Egypt) and trained with Salah. Essam used to play for the Egyptian U20 team.
Meanwhile, Jaha has been with The Cong Viettel Club since the 2021 season and is an important member. In recent seasons, Jaha has been considered the top defensive midfielder in the V.League. However, this season, the former Uzbekistan player has not contributed much, only playing in 6 matches. In the match against Quang Nam on the evening of February 27, Jaha left the field after the first half due to a slight injury.
Mohames Essam was once a teammate of Mohamed Salah.
Bruno Cunha also failed to gain the trust of the coaching staff of The Cong Viettel. He played 9 matches this season but only scored 2 goals and made 1 assist. This performance is in stark contrast to Bruno's performance in Thanh Hoa's shirt in V.League 2023. At the Thanh team, the Brazilian striker scored 11 goals, ranking 2nd in the list of top scorers of the tournament. In the past, Bruno played for The Cong Viettel and helped this team win the V.League 2020.
Saying goodbye to 3 foreign players, The Cong Viettel will sign contracts with 3 other foreign players to replace them. Today, 3 new players are in Vietnam.
Before this season, The Cong Viettel set a goal of entering the top 3. However, up to this point, the team's performance has been very disappointing. The army team ranked 12th/14 with 9 points, 2 points more than the bottom team.
Coach Nguyen Duc Thang has not won any matches with his new team. He is the third coach of the team this season, after Coach Thach Bao Khanh and Thomas Dooley. In round 12, The Cong Viettel will face Hai Phong Club at Lach Tray Stadium.
