According to information from Thanh Hoa club, after a respectful and understanding discussion between the two sides, head coach Choi Won-kwon and the Thanh team agreed to terminate their labor contract.
Since taking over as head coach 3 months ago, Mr. Choi has brought professionalism and a strong disciplinary spirit to help Dong A Thanh Hoa FC achieve certain results in the early stages of the 2025-2026 V.League season.
Thanh Hoa Club acknowledged and highly appreciated the valuable contributions of the Korean strategist.
However, in the context of the team carrying out financial restructuring and adjusting resources to ensure long-term stability and sustainable development, the club's leadership was forced to make a number of difficult but necessary decisions, including terminating the current coaching contract.
This decision was made after a thorough discussion, aiming to protect the interests of both sides and towards the long-term development of the club.
Coach Choi Won-kwon was born in 1981, He was an important assistant to coach Kim Sang-sik in his journey to win the 2024 ASEAN Cup with the Vietnam national team, and has experience in leading in K.League 1 and participated in the 2004 Olympic Games in Greece.
For Thanh Hoa, the nearly 3-month break of V.League is considered an important opportunity for the coaching staff to rebuild the squad structure, stabilize their spirit and prepare for the acceleration phase.
With a young force with great potential and a relatively long preparation period, Dong A Thanh Hoa expects to create positive changes in the upcoming journey. At this time, assistant Mai Xuan Hop will temporarily lead the team.
