According to Lao Dong, the new destination of the former captain of the Vietnamese team is likely to be Da Nang. The Han River team is going through a difficult start with 7 points after 11 rounds and is at the bottom of the rankings. Que Ngoc Hai's strengthening is expected to help improve the quality of the home team's defense at Hoa Xuan Stadium.
Joining Thanh Hoa with a 3-year contract from the beginning of the 2025-2026 season, Que Ngoc Hai is expected to become a leader in the lower line. However, a prolonged injury has left him on the field for only 6 matches, including 2 times playing the full 90 minutes. In the remaining 4 matches, this central defender only participated in a total of more than 20 minutes.
Thanh Hoa is currently facing many financial difficulties after Chairman Cao Tien Doan was arrested and his club account was frozen, leading to the team being owed wages for many months.
Recently, Thanh Hoa club was also banned by FIFA from temporarily transferring for 3 terms because it had not fulfilled its financial obligations to center back Igor Silva. After 11 rounds, Thanh Hoa is in 11th place with 8 points, 1 point above the bottom team SHB Da Nang.
Financial instability is considered the reason for Que Ngoc Hai's early termination of his contract, while helping the team reduce pressure on the salary fund.
In addition to Ngoc Hai's case, Thanh Hoa has also parted ways with coach Choi Won-kwon and plans to appoint coach Mai Xuan Hop to lead the team in the next phase.
