In the 2018 season, Le Cong Vinh, as Acting President of Ho Chi Minh City Club, strongly reformed the team. Convincing former Vietnam national team head coach Miura to come to Vietnam, bringing to Thong Nhat Stadium a series of players and former players as well as the team of assistants who used to work in the national team, all of whom had Vinh's mark and looked at Ho Chi Minh City's personnel like a miniature national team.
Coach Miura himself admitted that the reason he accepted the offer was because he was his former student. Cong Vinh's ambition is to want Ho Chi Minh City to become a great force in the V.League.
Coach Miura and Cong Vinh used to work at the Vietnam National University, so they understand each other very well. In addition, what Cong Vinh likes about his teacher is discipline and professional working style.
In fact, in Ho Chi Minh City, Cong Vinh has the title of Chairman but is only a hired person for the owners behind the team. The name Cong Vinh was brought to Ho Chi Minh City to attract media when the new team was promoted and needs to attract attention and interest. What Cong Vinh has done over the past year has also left a mark.
However, due to differences in viewpoints and working methods, Cong Vinh decided to stop. That is a personal matter, but for Ho Chi Minh City Club, there is certainly many impacts, including the future of Coach Miura.
In recent matches, Ho Chi Minh City is gradually losing its image due to its rough and ugly playing style. The fact that the players play football too hard seems to be outside the plan that Cong Vinh wants to aim for "clean, beautiful" football as promised to the fans.
When Cong Vinh leaves Ho Chi Minh City, Coach Miura will "same-handed" and if in the next rounds, the team does not have good results, the Japanese coach's departure is not surprising.
