The contract between coach Phung Thanh Phuong and the Ho Chi Minh City Club will expire at the end of June, but up to now, the team dubbed the “Red Fly” has not been able to move on to this coach.
In the last 2024/25 season, although not in the hands of the best force, the Ho Chi Minh City Club still knew how to 'whether rice and fish sauce' so that the V.League relegation was successful.
The 'Red Battleship' finishes a round of a valuable victory against Binh Dinh in the 25th round. They ranked 10th with 28 points. And the great work clearly belongs to coach Phung Thanh Phuong, who helped the team overcome many difficulties to succeed.
Coach Phung Thanh Phuong will probably leave the HCMC Club. |
In the last season, Ho Chi Minh City Club faced many challenges when the squad was weakened after the departure of many pillars, especially in foreign soldiers, while the goalkeeper captured Patrik Le Giang was injured at an important time, along with the financial crisis that made the player almost strike for wage debt and bonus.
However, coach Phung Thanh Phuong with his belief has maintained the solidarity of the whole team, thereby helping the 'Red Battleship' step by step overcome the turbulent. Besides talent, the Phung's military leader is also appreciated in the understanding of club culture and love for Ho Chi Minh City football. This helped him receive respect from the player, partner and special affection from fans.
But it was quite surprising that after the 2024/25 season, the Ho Chi Minh City Club was still silent about the future of the head coach born in 1978. If the 'Red Flagal' did not act soon, they could completely lose this talented military leader next season. It is known that at least two teams have invited Mr. Phung Thanh Phuong to work, but he has not officially nodded because he still answered the answer of the Ho Chi Minh City Club.
Speaking after a 1-0 victory over Binh Dinh in the 25th round of LPBank V.League 2024/25, coach Phung Thanh Phuong confirmed that Ho Chi Minh City Club will retain the overseas Vietnamese goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang for the next season.
On the morning of June 27, the Ho Chi Minh City Club announced that the farewell of midfielder Hoang Vinh Nguyen, closed the journey of three seasons between the player born in 2002 and the home team Thong Nhat.
