Binh Duong Club: Coach Anh Duc and Tien Linh, Ngoc Hai, from teammates to teachers and students

For Anh Duc, taking over the position of head coach of Binh Duong Club is like coming home, the place that helped him win all the glory with 4 V-League championships, 4 National Super Cups, 2 National Cups, Mekong Cup 2014 championship... With his hometown team, he won the Golden Ball of Vietnam 2015, Top scorer of V-League 2017, helping the Vietnam team win the AFF Cup 2018.

Since Anh Duc left in 2020, Binh Duong Club has gone through 9 coaches but has not achieved success. After 5 years, he has returned with interesting reunions. History has arranged for Tien Linh and Anh Duc to have successive roles, from the captaincy of Binh Duong Club to the spearhead of the Vietnam national team. Anh Duc's career peaked with the 2018 AFF Cup championship - Tien Linh's first official tournament in the Vietnam national team. After that, Tien Linh opened a brilliant career with 2 AFF Cup championships, 2 SEA Games gold medals and entered the top 3 scorers in the history of the Vietnam national team (25 goals). Will Anh Duc's return in a new role help Tien Linh open a cycle of success in the Binh Duong Club shirt?

At Binh Duong Club, Anh Duc also met his old teammate Ngoc Hai - who wore the captain's armband for most of the 2018 AFF Cup, together defeating Thailand at the 2019 King's Cup. After only a few years, they have changed from being teammates to being teachers and students. The way they address each other will still be brother and sister, but importantly, they are both ready to lean on each other. Immediately after hearing that Anh Duc will lead Binh Duong Club, Ngoc Hai shortened his calf injury rehabilitation course in Ho Chi Minh City to return to Thu. Tien Linh postponed his physical therapy plan to wait to meet the older brother who gave him early advice.

Must steer Binh Duong Club to escape danger

Anh Duc's return is expected to help Binh Duong FC stabilize in the coming time. "Chelsea VN" had an unlucky 2024 - 2025 V-League season when Tan Tai and Vi Hao suffered ligament tears while Ngoc Hai, Tien Linh, Minh Trong, Viet Cuong... all had to interrupt their matches due to injuries.

The first task of the 2015 Vietnam Golden Ball is to help Binh Duong Club regain victory after 3 consecutive losses (5 losses, 1 draw in the last 6 matches). Anh Duc's advantage is that he understands the team well, especially the players trained by the club. Their opponent is Quang Nam Club, who is deeply stuck in the relegation race. Although the away team is not too strong, they possess the unyielding will of someone who is pushed to the brink. Hopefully, the new solidarity and determination will help Anh Duc have a smooth start when he returns to his hometown team that has given him everything as a player.
