Former striker Le Huynh Duc was once a symbol of the Ho Chi Minh City Police Club, with 60 goals in the national A1 tournament, until becoming a part of the golden generation of Vietnamese football from 1996 to 2002. Thanks to his brilliance in the Ho Chi Minh City Police team, Huynh Duc quickly made it onto the Vietnam national team roster and won over even the most demanding coaches.

In the uniform of Ho Chi Minh City Police Club and the Vietnam national team, Le Huynh Duc is considered as "King Midas", wherever he touches, he achieves results. He won 3 Vietnam Golden Balls (1995, 1997, 2002), 3 Vietnam Silver Balls (1998, 1999, 2000), and the record of participating in 5 consecutive Tiger Cups (1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004).

Huynh Duc had a short period of leading Saigon team as technical director in the 2021 V-League season, then coached Binh Duong Club (now Becamex TP.HCM) in the 2023-2024 season before resting and returning to the Ho Chi Minh City Police Club this season.

Once a famous striker of the Ho Chi Minh City Police Club, combined with his proven leadership ability, Coach Le Huynh Duc can turn the southern representative into a formidable name in the V-League. Also in the registration for the coaching staff and assistant of Coach Le Huynh Duc is Mr. Phung Thanh Phuong, head coach of Ho Chi Minh City Club last season.
