The coach born in 1984 is expected to debut for the team in the most recent training session and the contract will also be announced soon. This is the move of the Red Mountain team after deciding to part ways with coach Nguyen Cong Manh.
Previously, Ha Tinh closed round 21 with a 0-0 draw at PVF-CAND stadium. This result extended the unstable performance of the team, especially the deadlock in attack. After 21 rounds, Ha Tinh has only scored 12 goals, being the team with the lowest scoring efficiency in the tournament.
Although he once received expectations when he was appointed, coach Nguyen Cong Manh could not help the team improve their performance. Ha Tinh currently has 6 wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats, winning 24 points and temporarily ranked 9th in the rankings. Although almost out of relegation, this result is still not commensurate with the goals set from the beginning of the season.
In the process of searching for a replacement, Ha Tinh club leaders contacted coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, but did not reach an agreement. After that, the team decided to place their trust in coach Phan Nhu Thuat, who had experience leading Song Lam Nghe An.
In his coaching career, Mr. Phan Nhu Thuat has led the Nghe team twice. A notable highlight is helping Song Lam Nghe An stay in the league and win the right to enter the National Cup final in the 2024-2025 season. In addition, he has also served as an assistant in several national youth teams and PVF-CAND club.
With accumulated experience, coach Phan Nhu Thuat is expected to help Ha Tinh improve their playing style, especially their scoring ability, in the remainder of the season.
