Before arriving in Binh Phuoc, coach Nguyen Viet Thang had a very successful 2024/25 season with Ninh Binh Club. Under the guidance of this former star player, the team from the ancient capital of Hoa Lu showed impressive form, winning the First Division championship three rounds early with an unbeaten record (19 wins, 1 draw).

However, at the end of the season, the former star player was not offered a contract extension by Ninh Binh Club due to a lack of coaching qualifications.

Coach Nguyen Viet Thang will lead Binh Phuoc in the 2025/26 season.

Binh Phuoc's decision to invite coach Nguyen Viet Thang is considered a strategic move to realize their ambition of playing in the V-League next season.

With experience as an assistant coach for the Vietnamese national team and currently pursuing a Pro coaching license in Japan, this former star player is expected to help Binh Phuoc improve and achieve promotion next season.

This is a perfectly reasonable goal, as Binh Phuoc currently possesses a relatively high-quality squad including players like Cong Phuong, Tuan Tai, and Phi Son… In addition, the team from the Southeast region is also planning to bring in Xuan Truong, Hong Duy, Van Son, and Minh Vuong to achieve their goal of promotion to the V-League.
