On its homepage on June 14, the Russian Football Club in China confirmed that it will no longer work with coach Sven Goran Eriksson. Instead, this club will reappoint coach Vuong Bao Son.
Thus, just 12 months since taking over the Tham Quyen Club from the legendary AC Milan - Clarence Seedoft, the former famous coach of the English national team, had to leave.
Before officially working at the Shenzhen Club, Eriksson had to face a very bad prospect, which was that this team had only won 5 out of the 13 matches at the end of the Chinese Super League season last year, thereby officially being relegated. However, after returning to the top flight in China, Eriksson's Tham Quyen club has played even worse, the team from Quang Dong province has played 9 matches, drew 2 and lost 7. The most recent loss was a cup of water, cutting off the relationship between Eriksson and this club.
On its homepage, club Tham Quyen did not directly mention the dismissal of the Swedish coach. However, the poem that this club posted was no different from a clever chase of Eriksson when it used every word to praise and call back on Coach Vuong Bao Son. The poem is written:
"11 years ago, he came and led Tham Quyen.
And let no one down
9 years ago, he saved the whole football scene of Shenzhen
The memories of the moments fighting together will never fade away.
And now, we are waiting for a legend to return.
For Shenzhen, we are united and together we have walked on new paths.
Happy birthday to you, Coach Vuong".
Thus, the former coach of DT Anh is currently unemployed and has no next plans for himself. Since 2013, Eriksson has led 3 clubs in China. Before Shenzhen, this strategist led Guangzhou R&F and Shanghai SIPG.
