After nearly 18 years of association with Hoang Anh Gia Lai club (HAGL), midfielder Tran Minh Vuong officially said goodbye to the mountain town team when the 2024-2025 season ends.
This is an emotional decision for the player born in 1995, who has matured from the training center of this team.
In the farewell message shared by Minh Vuong on his personal page, he confided: "Hello everyone. I have really prepared, but my mood at the moment is hard to describe.
Today, after nearly 18 years of working with Hoang Anh Gia Lai, I decided to leave when this season ends.
As I have shared a lot, to have some future luggage as well as experience in my football work, I decided to leave.
I left not to seek any titles or success. Because I know for sure one thing, there is no title or success greater than happiness and pride in playing for Hoang Anh Gia Lai for all those years.
I am not sure if Hoang Anh Gia Lai is my second home. But I am sure one thing: from the day I entered Hoang Anh Gia Lai, until now, I have received help from the uncles, teachers, and brothers in the club.
I have grown up like today thanks to Hoang Anh Gia Lai. It is a fact that in Hoang Anh Gia Lai, I feel very secure.
Let me thank you to the fans of Hoang Anh Gia Lai - who have always accompanied me through my youth. Even during that time, I did not reap much success.
But I hope that the youth of Hoang Anh Gia Lai will reap many successes and titles for the clubs.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Uncle Duc. That is the person who gave me the opportunity to serve the team until today, Minh Vuong added.
Minh Vuong is one of the first generation players of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Academy - Arsenal JMG, in the same generation as Cong Phuong, Tuan Anh, Xuan Truong.
Throughout his career at Hoang Anh Gia Lai, he not only left his mark with technical playing style and good tactical vision, but was also known as a gentle son, always loyal to the Mountain City football team.
