At noon on September 30, coach Nguyen Anh Duc announced his departure from Becamex HCMC club. He shared: "Maybe we should stop to make things better. It is a pity that it is still unfinished, but I still cherish my time with Becamex HCMC. I wish the team success in the journey ahead.
Anh Duc's departure from the city team was predicted in advance, because Becamex HCMC had a disappointing start to the 2025-2026 season. After the victory over Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the opening round, the team experienced a series of 5 consecutive losses, including 4 matches in the V.League and 1 match in the National Cup.
Before leading Becamex HCMC, Anh Duc left his mark when helping Long An win the bronze medal in the First Division. However, both times he sat in the hot seat at Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc (now Truong Tuoi Dong Nai) and Becamex HCMC ended in an incomplete manner.
Becamex HCMC plans to soon appoint a new coach. Most likely, a familiar face in football in the land of Thu will take over the position that Anh Duc left behind. After 5 rounds, the team is currently ranked 12th with 3 points and is at risk of having to rush into the relegation race soon if they do not improve their performance.
