As Thanh Nien reported, VFF and Coach Troussier have reached an agreement to terminate the contract ahead of schedule. VFF does not have to pay compensation for the contract but will support the former coach of the Vietnam national team with 3 months of salary (known to be around 180,000 USD). The money will be transferred to Mr. Troussier soon.
Coach Park is currently a senior advisor to Bac Ninh Club.
Sharing with the press, the VFF leader said that immediately after parting ways with coach Philippe Troussier, the VFF Standing Committee directed the VFF's professional departments to develop personnel plans for the national team and the national U.23 team, and promptly consulted the National Coaching Council to advise the VFF Standing Committee to report to the Executive Committee for decision. The VFF has appointed coach Hoang Anh Tuan to lead the Vietnam U.23 team to compete in the U.23 Asian Cup in April.
Which candidates will replace coach Philippe Troussier at U.23 and Vietnam national team?
As for the Vietnam national team coach in the next two months, if a suitable candidate is found, it can be done during the FIFA Days in June (the team still has two matches in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, against the Philippines at home on June 6 and against Iraq away on June 11). If not in time, the VFF will also have a temporary coach plan, similar to 2017 when the position of national team head coach was temporarily assigned to coach Mai Duc Chung.
The national team head coach will be considered and evaluated based on criteria of prestige, professional qualifications and, importantly, must be suitable for Vietnamese football.
Coach Park Hang-seo is subtle about the Vietnam team
VFF leaders also shared that to improve the quality of the team, the head coach is not enough. The long-term strategy is still to develop professional tournaments and promote youth training by improving the quality of the youth tournament system, supporting clubs to improve the quality of training young players. This is a mandatory task because it is the root of Vietnamese football. In addition, in the coming time, the team's strength also needs to change to become better and better and ensure a source of successors for the development stages.
Regarding the list of candidates to replace Mr. Troussier, VFF is in the process of establishing. However, it is known that this list will not include Mr. Park Hang-seo. At the end of October 2022, VFF and Mr. Park decided not to renew when the contract between the two parties ends in January 2023.
Recently, at the ceremony to launch the position of senior advisor of the second-division club Bac Ninh, coach Park Hang-seo was asked whether he would accept the invitation to return to the Vietnam national team. Mr. Park just smiled, thanked the questioner and politely returned the microphone before leaving the stage.
