Coach Mano Polking appeared in the stands of Hang Day Stadium
The results of round 4 of the V-League 2023 - 2024 will likely play an important role in determining the future of the "captains" of professional clubs, in the scene where the name of former captain of the Thai national team, Coach Mano Polking, is always mentioned.
After firing coach Vu Tien Thanh, the board of directors of Ho Chi Minh City Club immediately targeted former coach Mano Polking as the most perfect replacement, because this coach understands Southeast Asian football very well, has a reputation and recognized professional capacity.
However, the fact that coach Mano Polking was not really interested made Ho Chi Minh City Club change direction and invite the duo Park Hang-seo and Lee Young-jin to become Technical Director and Head Coach.

Information from the representative later revealed that both sides had verbal discussions. It seemed that Mr. Lee was willing to try but Mr. Park was not, while Ho Chi Minh City Club wanted both, making it impossible to go into detailed negotiations.
According to information from the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City Club, they are still researching a list of suitable candidates for the role of the sole representative captain of city football, while interim coach Phung Thanh Phuong just defeated The Cong Viettel Club 2-0.
There is even information that Coach Mano Polking will be in Saigon to greet and discuss business with the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City Club. "Coach Mano Polking is an old friend. We still keep in touch and have good feelings for each other," this person affirmed.
Coach Mano Polking has a strong personality and proven talent.
In fact, even when leading Ho Chi Minh City Club and the period as head coach of the national team and U.23 Thailand, Coach Mano Polking repeatedly expressed his good feelings about Vietnamese football and fans.
Mr. Polking himself has appeared many times in the stands of V-League, most notably Hang Day Stadium, to watch matches of the Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) under the pretext of "visiting friends".
Recently, CAHN Club also said goodbye to coach Tran Tien Dai to sign a contract with coach Gong Oh-kyun, who led the Vietnam U.23 team to the quarter-finals of the 2020 U.23 Asia Championship.
The 1-3 defeat at Lach Tray Stadium of Hai Phong Club has put Mr. Gong under certain pressure, causing rumors about Coach Mano Polking to resurface, as the former head coach of the Thai national team is about to return to Vietnam.
