SLNA, once known for playing very fiercely at home, lost 0-1 to Thanh Hoa right in the fiery Vinh city in the last round of the weekend. This defeat forced the team's leadership to change the upper echelons of the coaching staff. Head coach Pham Anh Tuan left and was replaced by coach Phan Nhu Thuat. Thus, coach Nhu Thuat returned to the chair he had sat in the 2023 season when he was appointed to replace coach Nguyen Huy Hoang. After that, coach Nhu Thuat also could not help SLNA achieve the expected success, so he had to leave the hot seat in Vinh city.

This time back, Coach Nhu Thuat has the support of Pham Van Quyen as assistant.
Coach Nhu Thuat is responsible for helping SLNA gain important points in the upcoming matches to escape the danger zone. In this restructuring, the team's leadership wanted former player Le Cong Vinh to be part of the coaching staff to support Nhu Thuat, but Cong Vinh refused due to being busy with work, so Coach Nhu Thuat had to take the lead.
This season, SLNA did not start well because they lacked quality players promoted to the first team like in previous seasons. The number of SLNA players wearing the national team jersey is also decreasing compared to the previous time, partly showing that the quality of SLNA's squad is not comparable to other clubs. In addition, due to financial difficulties, they cannot buy good foreign players to carry the team. The 3 current foreign players, Olaha, Benjamin and Eduardo, are only average and not outstanding, making SLNA not strong enough to win even at home.
In the next round, the Nghe team will play away at Hoa Xuan Stadium against Quang Nam Club. Currently, Quang Nam has 6 points (ranked 10th on the rankings), so they are trying to save every point at home, so it will be very difficult for coach Nhu Thuat and his students to find their first victory. In this match, the away team SLNA also lost a player when Van Thanh received a red card in round 7 and was not allowed to play, and Van Luong is still slightly injured. The goal of getting a draw may be suitable for SLNA at this time.
Returning to the head coach's chair when the team is facing difficulties, Coach Nhu Thuat said that he and his colleagues will do their best to boost the players' spirit, helping his students compete with the fiery spirit that is SLNA's identity, cherishing every point to quickly escape the red light position.
