Coach Polking signed a 2-year contract with CAHN Club, replacing Mr. Tran Tien Dai.

At 2:00 p.m. today, May 23, Coach Alexandre Polking was present at the Hanoi Police Club (CAHN Club) office to meet with the team's leadership, before signing an official contract to join the reigning V-League champions.

Coach Polking

Mr. Polking's right-hand man, Luis Filipe Pena Viegas, will come to Vietnam on May 24 to join CAHN Club. This is the person who has accompanied him since working at Bangkok United Club, Ho Chi Minh City Club until coaching the Thai national team. At CAHN Club, Coach Polking will reunite with assistant Paulo Alexandre - who was also on his coaching staff at Ho Chi Minh City Team in the 2021 season. Mr. Paulo is working at CAHN Club as an analyst.

Thus, Coach Polking will have a trusted coaching staff, with assistants who have been with him through many teams. Not to mention, language assistant Wasapol Kaewphant will also follow Mr. Polking to Vietnam to join the CAHN team.

Coach Polking's new coaching staff will start work tomorrow (May 24). The German coach will be present at the PVF Youth Football Training Center, where the CAHN Club is headquartered, to start training in preparation for the next stage of the season. He may not be in time for the important match against The Cong Viettel Club in the 21st round of the V-League 2023 - 2024, taking place on May 26 at Hang Day Stadium. He will have to wait until the match against Ha Tinh in the 22nd round on May 30.

After 20 rounds, CAHN Club is in fourth place with 31 points, 8 points behind the leading team Nam Dinh. Compared to the same period last season, CAHN Club is also 8 points behind.

CAHN FC has experienced instability on the coaching bench with three changes of "generals" this season. Coaches Tran Tien Dai, Gong Oh-kyun and Kiatisak Senamuang have taken the coaching chair, but the longest-serving Kiatisak has only been in charge for 11 matches. After Zico Thai resigned, Technical Director Tran Tien Dai became the interim coach.

Salary is confidential

At 9:30 p.m. on May 23, CAHN Club said: "Coach Alexandré Polking led CAHN Club to complete the procedures to welcome Coach Alexandré Poking to become the new coach of the team for the remainder of the 2023-2024 season. Recently, CAHN Club has negotiated with Coach Alexandré Polking to quickly regain stability on the coaching bench.

After a period of negotiation, the two sides reached an agreement and officially signed the contract on the evening of May 23 at the team's office. The contract between CAHN Club and Coach Polking has a minimum term of 2 years. However, due to the need for time to arrange work and family, Coach Polking has not been able to lead CAHN Club in the match against The Cong Viettel Club within the framework of round 21 of V-League. The coach born in 1976 will officially debut to fans during CAHN Club's away match against Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club in round 22 of V-League 2023-2024. With many years of experience working in Southeast Asia as well as past achievements, Coach Alexandré Polking is expected to achieve high achievements with CAHN Club, successfully conquering domestic and foreign arenas.

The German coach's contract is for 2 years (automatically extended for 1 more year), with salary and benefits kept confidential".
