Coach of Hanoi Police Club receives heavy penalty for clashing with referee

Accordingly, the Disciplinary Board fined Mr. Tran Tien Dai 20 million VND and suspended him from duty for the next 5 matches because he insulted and offended the referee and the tournament's Organizing Committee, seriously affecting the image of the tournament.

Previously, in the 72nd minute of the match between Hanoi Police Club and Binh Duong, coach Tran Tien Dai rushed onto the field to react harshly to referee Viet Duan because he thought the home team's foreign player had been fouled.

After a scuffle with the referee, the coach received a straight red card. Despite being stripped of his coaching rights, Mr. Dai remained in the team's technical area until he was warned to go up to the stands.

With the above actions, the fact that Coach Tran Tien Dai received a very heavy penalty from the VFF Disciplinary Board is very appropriate for the person and the crime. However, from the next round, it is likely that the Hanoi Police Club will be led by new Coach Mano Polking, so the suspension of Coach Tran Tien Dai's coaching work is no longer meaningful.

Also in round 8 of Night Wolf V-League 2023-24, in the case of player Nguyen Thanh Thao (number 3 of Ho Chi Minh City Club) who had a cold-blooded attack on Nguyen Van Hanh of Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club, he only received a yellow card. However, Thanh Thao's entire behavior was recorded by live television cameras.

Therefore, the tournament organizing committee proposed to the VFF Disciplinary Board to consider and take a more severe penalty for the above violation of player Nguyen Thanh Thao.

The VFF Disciplinary Board decided: "Fine 15 million VND and suspend player Nguyen Thanh Thao from playing for 3 matches for intentionally violating the body of an opposing player."
