If nothing changes in the next 24 hours, the match between Quang Nam and Thanh Hoa (round 11 make-up match) will create an unprecedented milestone in the history of V.League. For the first time, fans will witness a match where both teams do not have a head coach directly in charge.
This morning (February 18), coach Van Sy Son of Quang Nam Club received a fine of 5 million VND and a 2-match suspension from duty from the Disciplinary Board of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF). The Nghe An coach reacted to the referee in the match against the Hanoi Police team in round 13 of the V.League 2024-2025 on February 15 at Hang Day Stadium.
Coach Velizar Popov
Coach Van Sy Son served his sentence in the matches on February 19 and February 23. Quang Nam Club's opponent in both matches was Dong A Thanh Hoa.
Interestingly, the Thanh Hoa team will also not have a head coach in the make-up match of round 11 at Tam Ky Stadium (Quang Nam) tomorrow. Mr. Velizar Popov was dismissed (received 2 yellow cards, equivalent to 1 red card) in round 13. According to the tournament regulations, the Bulgarian coach is banned from duty for 1 match.
In the match against Ho Chi Minh City FC at Thong Nhat Stadium on February 14, coach Popov was shown two yellow cards in the first half, both for reacting to the referee. The second yellow card was an unjust penalty. He was misunderstood as reacting to the referee when he got angry with his team's players.
Coach Popov and members of the Thanh Hoa coaching staff tried to explain. However, the Thanh Hoa team received two yellow cards for technical director Hoang Thanh Tung. He was also banned from performing duties in the match against Thanh Hoa Club. Mr. Popov was escorted to the stands by security forces immediately afterwards.
