According to information from the team, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong no longer continues to lead PVF-CAND after a short period of attachment. The decision was made in the context that this team is facing many difficulties in terms of achievements this season.
In recent rounds, PVF-CAND has played unstably. Although they once won against Becamex TPHCM, this team lost heavily 0-3 to their direct competitor in the relegation race, SHB Da Nang, along with defeats against Nam Dinh and Cong An TPHCM.
Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong took office at PVF-CAND from the end of November 2025. He is expected to help the V.League newcomer improve their playing style and aim for relegation. However, despite some additions in force such as Reynolds, Ly Duc or Turci, the team has not yet been able to escape the bottom group.
After some rounds of the season, PVF-CAND is currently at the bottom of the rankings with 11 points, equal points with SHB Da Nang but inferior in sub-indices.
It is likely that coach Nguyen Duy Dong - who is leading the PVF-CAND youth team to compete in the First Division - will be assigned the task of temporarily replacing Mr. Nguyen Thanh Cong in the near future.
However, the task of the new coaching staff is predicted to be not easy as PVF-CAND still faces many difficulties. The team participating in the V.League is in a context where preparation is not really complete, the main force is young players who lack top-level competition experience. Meanwhile, some veterans no longer maintain their form, and foreign players have not been able to make a clear mark.
