Da Nang Club is struggling in the race to avoid relegation from V.League 2024-2025. After 9 rounds, the Han River team has not won any matches and is at the bottom of the rankings with only 4 points after 4 draws and 5 losses.
To improve the situation and quickly help the team overcome the crisis, the leadership of Da Nang club has made changes in the positions of the coaching staff. Accordingly, the experienced coach of Vietnamese football, Mr. Phan Thanh Hung, was appointed as Technical Director to replace Mr. Truong Viet Hoang.
In addition, Mr. Cristiano Roland will also come to Da Nang to take on the position of head coach of the team, replacing Mr. Dao Quang Hung.
The duo Phan Thanh Hung - Cristiano Roland were once familiar faces at the Hanoi club before, when Cristiano Roland was a former student of coach Phan Thanh Hung. Cristiano Roland was also an assistant to coach Phan Thanh Hung during his short time in charge of Binh Duong in the 2021 season.
Before returning to Da Nang as Technical Director, Mr. Phan Thanh Hung had a period of leading this team in 2023. However, the achievements of the strategist born in 1960 and the Han River team during this period were not as expected and he had to leave the team soon after only 10 rounds.
