Let's start with the success of our grandfather and the most mentioned name is coach Alexandre Polking.
This strategist completed the season with a convincing championship in the National Cup. The third place in V.League and the runner-up of the Southeast Asian Cup C1 are enough to affirm Mr. Polking's talent.
The commitment to the future between Hanoi Police Club and coach Polking was soon demonstrated. He rejected Madam Pang's offer to return to Thailand.
The young players of the team are increasingly developing, meeting professional requirements. Few people can do this with a large group of stars.
In addition, coach Makoto Teguramori also brought many positive signals. Hanoi FC under the Japanese strategist has not been really excellent.
In return, Mr. Teguramori still prioritizes using domestic players, creating conditions for young players to play football and test themselves. The V.League runner-up position of the capital team at this time is not bad.
Hanoi FC's continued pursuit of the "Japanese" policy shows their confidence in coach Teguramori. The former captain of BG Pathum United has had more domestic assistants and colleagues and the championship goal has been determined for the new season.
But at the extreme, experts witnessed the failure of coach Velizar Popov. A series of 10 wins without a win forced him to leave the "hot seat" of Thanh Hoa club. The Bulgarian coach planned to join Phu Dong Ninh Binh but then moved to The Cong Viettel.
Starting a new job with a big 6-0 victory over Da Nang, many people believe that this is the time for The Cong Viettel to turn into a dragon. But Mr. Popov and his new team's honeymoon quickly ended. A series of unsatisfactory results made him realize that things were not easy.
In the semi-final match of the National Cup - arena The Cong Viettel hoped to win the title, they lost 1-3 to Hanoi Police. This summer is expected to be very busy for this enthusiastic coach.
Mr. Popov's replacement in Thanh Hoa is Mr. Tomislav Steinbruckner. Things are not easy for the Croatian coach. He only won one match against The Cong Viettel.
The problem of the Thanh team does not necessarily lie in the role of the captain but comes from the players' unstoppable decline in performance. They continuously made mistakes, wasted opportunities and forced their predecessor Popov to stop. Now, the pressure on Mr. Tomislav has increased a lot.
The 2025-2026 season will soon begin and fans are waiting for the performances of foreign coaches. Who will succeed and who can't stay?
