According to the disclosure, the contract between Kim Thanh and Thai Nguyen Women's Club is for 2 years with a salary commensurate with the value, talent, reputation and contribution of the number 1 goalkeeper of the Vietnam women's team. In addition to Kim Thanh, her two former teammates, midfielder Bich Thuy and center back Tran Thi Thu, also have similar contracts.
Previously, all three grew up from the Ho Chi Minh City women's youth training center and were promoted to the first team. Kim Thanh and Bich Thuy were both promoted in 2010, Tran Thi Thu in 2006. At the same time, they were important pillars in the 9-year reign of coach Kim Chi, helping the Ho Chi Minh City women's team win 8 national championships and 3 national cup championships.
Kim Thanh, Bich Thuy and Tran Thi Thu all chose the same new destination.
Kim Thanh's excellent performance, especially at the 2023 Women's World Cup, received much praise. Contrary to expectations that she would go abroad, Kim Thanh chose Thai Nguyen Women's Club as her next destination. The goalkeeper born in 1993 revealed the reason: "I myself am short, so it is difficult for me to play abroad like Huynh Nhu. In addition, Thai Nguyen Club was also the first team to offer me a new contract, so I chose this place to stay.
However, to make the decision, I had to think a lot. The Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club is the place that has nurtured, educated, trained and competed for me for 17 years, so saying goodbye and joining a new team is really not easy."
Kim Thanh said that leaving the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club after 17 years of association was not easy.
The addition of Kim Thanh, Bich Thuy and Tran Thi Thu will certainly help Thai Nguyen Women's Club improve its strength a lot. Kim Thanh expressed confidence: "I have trained and competed a lot in Hanoi as well as Thai Nguyen, so the weather does not affect me much. This is a new environment, bringing many challenges to me. However, I will try my best to complete the goals set by the leaders and the coaching staff.
I myself am really happy to receive a contract with many benefits. At the same time, this is also a motivation for me as well as other players to try harder and play better to bring many achievements to our country's football."
In addition to sharing about the new team, Kim Thanh was also excited when asked about striker Huynh Nhu - a player currently playing for Lank FC in Portugal. Kim Thanh said the two still keep in touch regularly and hope to reunite in the future.
The Vietnamese Golden Ball for Women expressed: “I don’t know how the contract between Huynh Nhu and the foreign team will be signed, so I can’t say anything in advance. I just encourage and ask, but the final decision still lies with Huynh Nhu. But Huynh Nhu and I have been together for a while, playing for the Ho Chi Minh City women’s team, so I hope this can continue, and I will have the opportunity to work side by side with her again.”
Kim Thanh said she still regularly talks and asks about Huynh Nhu.
Former coach of the Vietnamese women's team - Mai Duc Chung also attended the "important" day of Kim Thanh, Bich Thuy and Tran Thi Thu. He happily shared: "Today's reunion makes me really happy and excited. I think it is reasonable for them to leave Ho Chi Minh City Club after a period of attachment and dedication. This is a great development when Thai Nguyen has different contracts than all the other women's teams.
I heard the Chairman of Thai Nguyen City speak, I feel very happy that Thai Nguyen sports have made a change, the future is very bright. In addition to the improved economy and society, Thai Nguyen's sports are also developing. In the near future, Thai Nguyen will have a new stadium, reaching international standards and the living conditions will also be improved. Especially with the support of T&T Group, those are really good things."
Coach Mai Duc Chung was present to share joy with his former students.
In 2023, Thai Nguyen Women's Club only ranked 5th in the national women's football tournament. However, with the addition of Kim Thanh, Bich Thuy and Tran Thi Thu, combined with pillars such as My Anh and Thuy Nga, Thai Nguyen Women's Club promises to be a team worth watching, challenging strong teams such as Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club and Hanoi Women's Club.
