Losing to CAHN, Hanoi FC coach hints at risk of losing his job

On the evening of August 28, Hanoi FC received another sad result with a 2-4 loss to CAHN. Coach Makoto Teguramori's team defended very poorly, conceding 4 goals after 80 minutes of play. Only when the opponent tended to relax did they manage to score 2 goals.

This defeat has extended the unforgettable streak of one of the candidates for the LPBank V.League 1 championship this season. Since the beginning of the season, they have lost 2 and drawn 1. The draw with HAGL also brought much disappointment to Hanoi FC when they pressed the field completely, shot 23 times but did not score once.

After the first 3 rounds, perhaps Hanoi FC is the most disappointing name of LPBank V.League 1-2025/26 and what is happening is putting a lot of pressure on coach Makoto Teguramori. The Japanese coach even hinted at the risk of losing his job in the post-match press conference.

“There are many reasons for our poor start to the season,” he said. “A week ago, Hanoi FC had just had their full squad, so the team was not really in sync. I came here with the expectation of helping Hanoi FC win the championship, but the current results are not good. The decision about my position belongs to the team’s leadership. There will be a break in the tournament, and that is an opportunity for us to improve.”

In the defeat against CAHN, Mr. Teguramori said that the problem of Hanoi FC lies in the defense, when the more they play, the more gaps are exposed for the opponent to exploit. “We are the guests but actually we are also the hosts because today, we play at Hang Day. The team is determined to have difficulties, but the result is really sad. After being 2 goals down, our defense exposed many gaps.”
