Coach Velizar Popov revealed that he received offers from four teams. Two of them are from Vietnam, and two are from other foreign clubs that contacted the Bulgarian coach. The 49-year-old expert did not name the specific clubs that were pursuing him.
On March 5th, coach Velizar Popov parted ways with Thanh Hoa FC after a series of 11 matches with only draws and losses. The coach, born in 1976, remains in Vietnam to rest with his family while planning his next career moves.
"I've received two offers from outside Vietnam and will consider them next week. Additionally, there are two offers from Vietnamese clubs, but I want to wait a bit longer right now. This is the time to move on, to face a bigger challenge," said coach Popov.
Coach Popov
Despite Thanh Hoa FC's recent poor performance, the Bulgarian coach is still highly regarded for his expertise. The former Myanmar national team coach has made a significant impact on the Thanh Hoa team after two and a half seasons working in Vietnamese football.
Velizar Popov led Thanh Hoa FC to two National Cups and one National Super Cup. This season, the Thanh Hoa team even topped the V.League standings at one point despite not having a strong squad. At the time Coach Popov left, Thanh Hoa FC was still in third place.
Besides their good performance, Thanh Hoa FC, under the guidance of their Bulgarian coach, also impressed with their passionate playing style. The team from Thanh Hoa always showed a spirit of dedication, operating at high intensity with a well-organized formation.
However, for many reasons, both subjective and objective, Thanh Hoa FC's form declined from the end of 2024. They remain a difficult team to beat (only losing 3 times in their last 12 matches across all competitions), but they are unable to secure victories. A weak attack is the main reason why Thanh Hoa FC struggles to score, even against weaker opponents.
