According to Lao Dong, coach Phan Nhu Thuat will return to lead Song Lam Nghe An club, replacing Mr. Pham Anh Tuan who has just resigned.
Besides, former player Le Cong Vinh has also received an invitation from the leadership of Song Lam Nghe An.
As Lao Dong reported, after the 0-1 defeat against Thanh Hoa in round 7 of V.League 2024-2025, coach Pham Anh Tuan asked to resign from leading Song Lam Nghe An club and was approved by the team's leadership.
The task of coach Phan Nhu Thuat and assistant Le Cong Vinh is to help the Nghe An team overcome the current bad period. After the first 7 rounds of V.League 2024-2025, Song Lam Nghe An has not won any matches, standing at the bottom of the rankings with 4 points after 4 draws and 3 losses.
Previously, coach Phan Nhu Thuat replaced his senior Nguyen Huy Hoang from round 11 of V.League 2023, before stepping back to the role of assistant to coach Pham Anh Tuan from round 8 of V.League 2023-2024. Currently, Mr. Thuat is attending the AFC Pro class to obtain the highest coaching certificate of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
In addition to coach Phan Nhu Thuat, the appearance of former player Le Cong Vinh in the coaching staff of Song Lam Nghe An will also attract attention. Le Cong Vinh is the class president and has just completed the C-level course jointly organized by AFC and the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF). However, according to AFC and VPF regulations, he is not yet qualified to officially lead V.League teams.
