During his time as a football manager, from the club level (Hai Phong) to the level of managing professional leagues (VPF), Mr. Tran Manh Hung was known for his strong personality.

The most notable achievement during Mr. Hung's tenure as Chairman of Hai Phong Football Club was leading the team to the runner-up position in the V-League 2016, as well as winning the National Football Cup in 2014.

During the period when Mr. Tran Manh Hung was the Chairman of Hai Phong Football Club, he and the team welcomed goalkeeper Dang Van Lam, at a time when the goalkeeper was facing the most difficulties. That was a time when Dang Van Lam was not yet famous.

Thanks to his years playing for Hai Phong Club during the period when Mr. Tran Manh Hung was the club's president, Dang Van Lam gradually established his name before becoming the number one goalkeeper in Vietnamese football from 2018-2022.
