According to Lao Dong, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong will take over the position of captain of PVF-CAND club, replacing his predecessor Thach Bao Khanh after a poor start in V.League 2025-2026. This move is to improve the situation of the rookie team, when they have fallen to the bottom of the table after 11 rounds.
Before the change on the "hot seat", PVF-CAND had only won 1 match with 5 draws and 5 losses, ranking 13th on the rankings with 8 points. They are 1 point ahead of bottom-placed SHB Da Nang. This result is the reason why the team's leadership had to change the head coach.
According to Lao Dong's research, in fact, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong has been the priority name of PVF-CAND since the beginning of the season. However, at that time, he refused due to health problems.
However, when the situation became urgent, the Police team contacted again and this time received a nod from the Nghe An strategist.
PVF-CAND Club will gather again in the next few days and officially announce a new head coach.
They will prepare for the match against Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the 1/8 round of the 2025-2026 National Cup, taking place at the end of January next year. This will be the official debut match of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong.
In his career, this coach is highly appreciated for his ability to revive teams facing difficulties in the relegation race, having led Saigon FC (dissolved), Thanh Hoa, Quang Nam, Ha Tinh... to successfully stay in the league. This is also what PVF-CAND is really needing at the moment.
