The leadership of Binh Duong team decided to appoint Nguyen Anh Duc to lead the team for the remaining period of the 2024-2025 season. The famous former striker of Vietnamese football will play with the remaining 5 matches in the V.League, next to the National Cup.
At this time, Binh Duong has entered the semi-finals of the National Cup and will meet Song Lam Nghe An. In case of reaching the final, Anh Duc and his students will also face Hanoi Police or The Cong Viettel to compete for the championship.
The fact that Binh Duong gives the opportunity to Mr. Duc continues to show the great fluctuations on the team's training bench. At the beginning of the football season 2024-2025, Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan led the team, receiving great expectations. However, after only 9 rounds, the former coach of the U20 Vietnam team stopped leading the team.
Young "General" Nguyen Cong Manh was promoted as a replacement, but he could not last long after 12 matches leading Binh Duong in the V.League. The tactician resigned and was eventually persuaded to stay. However, after a series of 4 losses and 1 draw in the last 5 matches, he was forced to leave his position.
Since 2018, when Anh Duc left Binh Duong, the team from Thu Dau has continuously changed coaches. Many famous strategists such as Phan Thanh Hung, Le Huynh Duc, Lu Dinh Tuan, Hoang Anh Tuan to Nguyen Quoc Tuan... have not been able to stay with the home team at Go Dau Stadium for a long time.
Their common point is that when they arrived at Go Dau Stadium, they all received very high expectations, because their talent had been proven. However, they all left silently afterwards.
Binh Duong Club is considered a "grinder" of coaches. For a few years now, people who have been in charge for a long time only lead the team for a few months, the rest are fire fighting options. Even a famous strategist with a tough stance like Le Huynh Duc has only worked with the team for more than a month.
Appointing Anh Duc to the hot seat is a temporary solution for the Binh Duong team's leadership, but they also cherish greater plans. If he does a good job in the remaining period of the season, Anh Duc will likely be awarded a long-term contract, creating conditions for him time to build personnel, playing style, and create his own team.
As the legendary striker of Binh Duong, with the 4 -time V.League championship, Anh Duc understood the home team. However, it will not be easy for him to revive Binh Duong's achievement, establish a solid foundation and beyond to restore the glory for the home team. What he needs most is the unanimity and support for the common goal from the leadership and players.
Nguyen Anh Duc was born in 1985, a striker who has played for Dong A Bank, Binh Duong, Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Long An. This striker has won a series of titles with Binh Duong team, including 4 V.League championships and 2 National Cups.
He also won the AFF Cup 2018 with the Vietnamese team. On a personal level, Anh Duc was the player who won the Vietnam Golden Ball in 2015; Silver Ball in 2017 and 2018.
After retiring, he had a time as an assistant to coach Park Hang-seo in the Vietnam national team. In addition, he also led the Long An and Binh Phuoc teams before coming to Binh Duong.
