On May 9, 2024, VFF and Mr. Mai Duc Chung reached a consensus and agreed to sign a contract to continue leading the Vietnam Women's National Team from May 9, 2024 to December 31, 2025.
After the 32nd SEA Games 2023 with the achievement of winning the Gold Medal for the 4th consecutive time with the Vietnamese women's football team, Coach Mai Duc Chung decided to temporarily stop this job to spend time with his family. After a period of rest and recovery, Coach Mai Duc Chung decided to return to women's football.
During his time as head coach of the Vietnamese women's football team, Mr. Mai Duc Chung and his students won 6/8 SEA Games gold medals and especially brought the women's team to the 2023 World Cup. Despite difficult circumstances such as when the team competed in the Asian Women's Championship, the team was almost completely affected by Covid-19, but the teachers and students made efforts to overcome to win tickets to the 2023 World Cup.
Sharing his thoughts on returning to lead the Vietnamese women's team, coach Mai Duc Chung said: "This year, the team will not participate in any international tournaments. However, the team will still have a training session abroad in July or August, after which the players will return to compete in domestic tournaments, as well as the Ho Chi Minh City team will participate in the Asian Women's C1 Cup. This is the premise for us to have good preparation for important goals that will take place in 2025, including the Southeast Asian Championship, 2025 SEA Games, Asian Cup women's qualifiers... The coaching staff and I will focus the most to complete the task well."
