Since leaving Da Nang in May 2021, Coach Le Huynh Duc has not led any team. In V-League 2022, he took on the role of Technical Director of Saigon FC for a while, then suddenly quit in the last two rounds, and the team was then relegated and dissolved. With his return in V-League 2023, the 51-year-old coach is expected to rescue Binh Duong - the team at the bottom of the table.

Binh Duong is going through a turbulent season. Coach Lu Dinh Tuan left after only four rounds. His successor Nguyen Quoc Tuan also only lasted three rounds before leaving. Both of Mr. Huynh Duc's predecessors only brought Binh Duong three draws after seven matches. The goal set at the beginning of the season was to be in the top eight after the first stage, but it is getting further away. Their current goal is to avoid relegation.

The task on the debut day of new coach Huynh Duc is not easy when having to face the host Khanh Hoa. The coastal city team did not start the season well, but the more they play, the better they get. Despite facing many disadvantages from the referee, Khanh Hoa currently has nine points to avoid the relegation group. With a team without stars, but the cohesive playing style of a collective, coach Vo Dinh Tan helps Khanh Hoa become an annoying fool for any opponent.

Despite being at the bottom of the table, Binh Duong is rated higher than Khanh Hoa thanks to the depth of the squad. They have a series of excellent players such as Mosses, Rimario, Nguyen Tien Linh, Bui Vi Hao, and only have problems with cohesion. Therefore, Coach Huynh Duc's task is to build a collective playing style and must "activate" the explosive Tien Linh - the striker who has not scored any goals after seven matches. If the above two problems are solved, Binh Duong will have a bright chance to get points and become a coastal city.

This afternoon's round 8 matches also saw the debut of another new coach, when Mr. Flavio Cruz and Hanoi Police visited Ho Chi Minh City Club . During the more than one month break to make way for the 32nd SEA Games, the new V-League team said goodbye to coach Foiani and many assistants to renew the technical area.

New coach Flavio Cruz played in Vietnam for 7 years for Hue, Binh Dinh and Navibank Saigon clubs. He won the top scorer title with Hue club with 18 goals. The coach, born in 1972, led Mageense FC in his home country of Brazil and then coached Gia Dinh team.

Folavio Cruz's task is to maximize the strength of his quality squad. Hanoi Police currently owns a series of players such as Van Thanh, Tuan Tai, Tan Sinh, Van Hau, Van Vu, Tien Dung, Van Do, but 11 points and the current fifth position are not commensurate. Meeting Ho Chi Minh City Club is a good opportunity for the away team's best players to demonstrate their strength, because the home team is weak in all aspects.

Ho Chi Minh City FC is currently second to last with four points. Coach Vu Tien Thanh is still trusted despite his many shocking statements that led to him being punished. However, with a thin squad and a lack of good individuals, this coach is considered to have difficulty helping Ho Chi Minh City stand firm against the visitors.
