Coach Le Duc Tuan during the training session of Hanoi Club
Since parting ways with coach Chu Dinh Nghiem, Hanoi FC has only appointed foreign head coaches: Park Choong-kyun (Korea), Bozidar Bandovic (Montenegro) and Daiki Iwamasa (Japan). Experienced domestic coaches such as Hoang Van Phuc and Dinh The Nam have only held temporary positions until coach Le Duc Tuan takes the hot seat.
Even interim coach Chun Jae-ho (South Korea), who helped Hanoi FC win the double title of V-League and National Cup 2022, was not trusted to take the responsibility of sitting in the hot seat and left.
That shows that Hanoi FC, which holds the record of winning the V-League 5 times, always sets very high standards for the head coach position. Therefore, when the team officially announced the appointment of coach Le Duc Tuan, it surprised many people.
At the time of his official appointment as head coach of Hanoi FC, Coach Le Duc Tuan was only 42 years old. He was the youngest coach of the capital team in the past 10 years. It is not easy for an ambitious team like Hanoi FC to put their trust in a very young and domestic strategist.
Thanh Chung has just made an impressive comeback in the Vietnamese national team jersey.
So what does Coach Le Duc Tuan have to make Hanoi FC trust him? First, he has an AFC Pro license, which is the highest level in the Asian Football Confederation's diploma system. Next, the former Thanh Hoa FC player has been with the purple team for a long time as a youth team coach and first team assistant.
Therefore, Mr. Tuan understands the culture, tradition of the club and most importantly, understands the players he has in hand. That is also the reason why the board of directors and players of Hanoi put their trust in their new head coach.
Ahead of the 2024-2025 season, Hanoi FC star player Nguyen Van Quyet shared: “The new coach brings a completely new motivation, making the whole team determined and united to aim for victory in every match. I hope Hanoi FC will regain its position this season.”
Coach Le Duc Tuan's ability was also partly demonstrated in the two matches against opponents Wuhan Three Towns (AFC Champions League 2023-2024, lost 1-2) and Hai Phong Club (V-League 2023-2024, lost 3-5).
Hanoi Club actively prepares for the new season
Although he could not help Hanoi FC win, the 42-year-old strategist still inspired his players to fight until the last minute. That was shown through the goals in the final stages of the match by Pham Tuan Hai and Joel Tagueu.
It is known that Coach Le Duc Tuan is very popular with the players of Hanoi Club. Thanks to that, when entering the field, Van Quyet and his teammates are more enthusiastic and try harder for their coach.
The next advantage of coach Le Duc Tuan is that he "inherited" the revolution left by his predecessor coach Iwamasa.
In the final stage of V-League 2023-2024, Hanoi FC played more cohesively, coherently and convincingly to accelerate, finishing in 3rd place after an unstable period at the beginning of the season. The young strategist can completely continue and promote that style of play.
Foreign players of Hanoi Club
Moreover, the Hanoi Club's core is still there with a series of national players spread across the lines such as defenders Thanh Chung, Duy Manh, Xuan Manh; midfielders Hung Dung, Tuan Hai, Hai Long, Van Quyet, Van Truong...
They also added some good domestic players such as Le Xuan Tu, Ho Thanh Minh, Nguyen Xuan Kien and overseas Vietnamese player Kyle Connale.
The quality of Hanoi FC's foreign players is also highly appreciated, namely Joao Pedro, Augustine Chidi Kwem and Keziah Veendorp. According to Transfermarkt, their values are 450,000 euros, 850,000 euros and 450,000 euros respectively.
In the 2024-2025 V-League, the value of Hanoi FC's squad is the second highest, after Nam Dinh FC (5.78 million euros compared to 5.99 million euros). Accepting to lead Hanoi FC, Coach Le Duc Tuan must face the pressure of having to achieve results. However, the new coach of the capital team has many advantages to assert himself, so fans believe he will lead the Hanoi team to success.
