After the 0-3 loss to Hanoi FC in round 19 of V.League 2024-2025, coach Nguyen Cong Manh said that he felt "ashamed" and decided to resign. However, the leadership of the team from the land of Thu has persuaded Mr. Manh to continue working, at least until the end of the 2024-2025 season.
However, Binh Duong club has not been able to improve their performance, continuing to suffer 2 more defeats against Thep Xanh Nam Dinh and Hong Linh Ha Tinh with the same score of 1-3.
The disappointing performance caused Binh Duong to fall to 8th place on the rankings. Tien Linh and his teammates are going through a series of 6 consecutive matches without a win, including 5 defeats.
According to Lao Dong, the leadership of Binh Duong club has decided to part ways with coach Nguyen Cong Manh on the evening of May 6. The person chosen to take over the "hot seat" of the Binh Duong home team is coach Nguyen Anh Duc.
It is expected that today (7.), the contract between Binh Duong and coach Anh Duc will be signed.
Nguyen Anh Duc is a familiar face to Binh Duong football fans. During his playing days, Anh Duc made 276 appearances for Binh Duong, scoring 100 goals. In the Thu Dau Mot football team, Anh Duc has won 4 V.League championships, 2 National Cups, 4 National Super Cups.
After retiring, Anh Duc switched to coaching. The former player born in 1985 was an assistant to Long An and Vietnam before leading Long An to compete in the 2023 First Division.
After that, Anh Duc was appointed head coach of Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc Club from the 2023-2024 season. Because he could not help Binh Phuoc compete for promotion tickets, Anh Duc had to say goodbye to this team in March 2025.
