Coach Vu Quang Bao passed away

Mr. Vu Quang Bao is a veteran coach of Vietnamese football. He started from Military Zone 4 Club, then played for The Cong, and ended his football career playing for Song Lam Nghe An.

During his coaching career, he was the head coach of Military Zone 4, Navibank Saigon, Can Tho, Lam Dong, Quang Nam, Thanh Hoa. The last team he coached was the People's Public Security Club, but in April 2022, he left after 1 year of working there.

Having retired from football, this veteran coach still has a lot of passion for his coaching career, often calling to share with his colleagues, especially with sports reporters.

A few days ago, he texted me to say: “ I have been watching the Asian Cup regularly, son, and have not missed any matches. It is just a pity that the Vietnamese team has not played as well as expected .”

At 3am this morning (February 8), former player Vu Trong Thong texted me to say: “ My dad passed away ”, which left me in shock. Coach Vu Quang Bao passed away after a heart attack at his home in Thai Hoa town (Nghe An province) at around 0:00 on February 8. Because it was so close to Lunar New Year, his family will cremate his coffin at 8:00am this morning (February 8, the 29th day of the Lunar New Year).

The sudden passing of Coach Vu Quang Bao is a loss for his family and the Vietnamese football community, especially his students - former players who came from the former Military Zone 4 Club.
