On the afternoon of October 24th, Nam Dinh Club announced a change in its coaching staff. Mr. Nguyen Trung Kien will take on the role of head coach, while Mr. Vu Hong Viet will step down to the position of Technical Director.
Nam Dinh is the fourth club to change coaches for the 2025-2026 season so far, following Hanoi FC (who sacked Makoto Teguramori), Becamex Ho Chi Minh City FC (who parted ways with Nguyen Anh Duc), and Song Lam Nghe An FC (who parted ways with Phan Nhu Thuat).
Nguyen Trung Kien, born in 1979, rose through the ranks of the Nam Dinh youth academy, playing as a midfielder. During his playing career, he played for Nam Dinh and Saigon Port FC, and was once called up to the Vietnamese national team.
Mr. Nguyen Trung Kien has been the Technical Director of Nam Dinh Club since 2023. He worked alongside coach Vu Hong Viet to win two V-League championships and one Vietnamese Super Cup in the past three seasons.
The decision to change personnel on the coaching bench comes as Nam Dinh FC has had a poor start to the 2025-2026 season. In the V-League, the team has only earned 7 points after 7 matches, including 4 recent matches with only draws and losses.
In the two international competitions, AFC Champions League Two and ASEAN Club Championship, the team won 3 and lost 1 out of 4 matches.
"In football, every club has difficult times, and Nam Dinh is no exception."
However, the team's fighting spirit, desire for victory, and unwavering unity will certainly get them back on track. Continuing to develop and achieve long-term high results is the task Xuan Thien Group has assigned to the team," the Nam Dinh team stated.
Nam Dinh FC will debut their new head coach, Nguyen Trung Kien, in their match against Da Nang on October 27th, part of Round 8 of the V-League 2025-2026.
