Female volleyball coaches are sought after

HOÀI VIỆT |

Before the new 2026 season kicked off, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's preparation to leave Vietinbank to sign a contract with the Hanoi women's team was a surprise.

Many teams want to sign coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet

Hanoi women's volleyball team has just announced that coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet has reached an agreement to proceed to sign a contract as head coach. Before being invited to work by Hanoi women's team, Mr. Nguyen Tuan Kiet was the head coach of Vietinbank team.

In the past 2 years, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet has created 2 significant surprises. In 2024, Mr. Kiet attracted attention when he decided to return to be the head coach of his old team after just ending his contract with Quang Ninh team. Currently, this coach continues to be noticed when he will leave Vietinbank to join the newly promoted Hanoi women's team.

Among the current women's volleyball coaches in Vietnam, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet is the face most noticed by society. Because he has identified his coaching ability by the achievements he has brought to the Vietnam Women's Volleyball Team in the past 3 years.

Most recently, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and the Vietnamese Women's Volleyball Team won a Silver Medal at SEA Games 33. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet once topped the list of National Typical Coaches in 2024, and this year he continues to be named in the top 5 positions of the election.

Therefore, many women's football teams with financial potential want to get the signature of this coach. The Hanoi women's team's choice of coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet is not accidental. With strong and stable sponsorship resources, and the goal of participating in the 2026 National Championship, leaders of the Hanoi Volleyball Federation expect the team to be in the group of 3 strongest teams in the country. On that basis, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet is trusted to be entrusted with the responsibility of realizing this goal.

Standing between feelings and income

Vietnamese women's volleyball witnessed many coaches working with the same team but still deciding to leave to join a new team. Examples include coach Thai Thanh Tung leaving the Thai Binh (old) team (now Hung Yen) to join LPBank Ninh Binh team in 2021 or coach Thai Quang Lai suddenly leaving the Ha Tinh men's team to sign a contract with VTV Binh Dien Long An in 2024. Now, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet will also soon terminate his contract with Vietinbank to prepare to join the Hanoi team.

With coach Thai Thanh Tung, many people understand that the farewell to Hung Yen team makes him worried about his love for his homeland and expertise that has been placed entirely here. But in the new LPBank Ninh Binh team, this coach has good incentives and enough opportunities to continue coaching. Therefore, coach Thai Thanh Tung and LPBank Ninh Binh won the national championship in 2023 and won the runner-up position in 2025.

Mr. Lai's transfer to VTV Binh Dien Long An team in 2024 has been highly noticed by the media. There is no official figure yet, however, experts know that the salary and bonus regime at VTV Binh Dien Long An team is stable for coaches to feel secure in their profession.

In return, coach Thai Quang Lai led VTV Binh Dien Long An to win the national championship in 2024. Currently, this coach has left VTV Binh Dien Long An, but experts assess him as one of the people who brought the most positive results to the team in 2024.

Women's volleyball teams in Vietnam are gradually moving towards the trend of accepting to spend large costs to hire good coaches to achieve professional achievements. Therefore, famous and professional coaches are always sought after.

Each coach who changes a team has their own reasons. Above all, experts and society understand the harshness of professional sports, which is the income problem and the opportunity to develop expertise that determines everything. Coaches will accept new environmental challenges instead of just being bound to one team for too long.
