Hanoi fans arrived early at Noi Bai airport to await the arrival of the former Liverpool player. Coach Harry Kewell smiled brightly, holding a bouquet of fresh flowers and taking photos with the enthusiastic fans of the capital team. This image reflected the excitement, trust and great expectations that the capital audience placed on the Australian strategist.

Previously, on the morning of October 4, Hanoi officially announced the appointment of coach Harry Kewell after a quick approach and negotiation process. An impressive resume from his time playing for Leeds United, Liverpool to his coaching career in England, Scotland, and Japan made the strategist born in 1978 a "blockbuster" contract for the purple team.

Coach Harry Kewell is expected to bring a breath of fresh air to Hanoi, helping the club not only protect its domestic position but also nurture its ambition to reach the continental arena. International media, from England to Australia, also reported on this deal, showing the attraction of the famous player who has participated in the World Cup twice.

Coming to Hanoi, he will have about two weeks during the FIFA Days break to get to know his players, test tactics and convey his football philosophy. This is considered the “golden time” for the Australian coach to understand the team before entering the fierce cycle of V.League.

On October 18, Coach Harry Kewell will make his debut at Hang Day Stadium when Hanoi hosts Ninh Binh in round 7 of V.League 2025/26. This is not only an official debut but also an important test, as the opponent is leading the table with 14 points. The result of the match will be the first indication of Coach Harry Kewell's ability to integrate and orientate in the journey to bring Hanoi back to the championship race.
