“Thank you for 9 goals, 4 assists and all the contributions of João Pedro last season. Wishing him much success in the upcoming journey,” confirmed Hanoi’s homepage.

João Pedro left Hanoi after only one season. In the 2024/25 V.League, the 28-year-old striker was the player with the best scoring efficiency of the capital team with 9 goals. He scored 2 more goals than Van Quyet and Floro Da Silva Daniel, who both had 7 goals.

Despite playing quite effectively in the attack, Pedro is still not in the personnel plan for next season. He became the first name to say goodbye to Hanoi after helping the capital team finish as runner-up in V.League 2024/25.

The striker, born in 1996, used to play for the Portuguese U20 team. However, Pedro's career did not develop as expected. His departure is said to be part of Hanoi's reconstruction plan. This team aims to "Japanize" the coaching staff and technical department. Previously, the team also terminated the contract with Korean assistant Yi Chang-yeob.

Currently, Hanoi is actively preparing for V.League 2025/26. In the coming time, this team is expected to announce many new players, in addition to the famous contract named Hendrio. The Brazilian midfielder joined the capital team after half a season of not being appreciated by Nam Dinh . He is expected to become an important piece to help Hanoi increase creativity in the midfield next season.
