Coach Bui Doan Quang Huy takes Binh Dinh Club to fly high, reviving old faces

Coach Bui Doan Quang Huy had a very impressive debut season in the V-League.

The challenge facing the coach nicknamed Huy "Lép" is immense, as Binh Dinh Club can no longer retain quality players: Rafaelson and Jermie Lynch have left, while national team players Ly Cong Hoang Anh, Nguyen Tien Duy, and Vu Tuyen Quang have also found new clubs.

In that difficult situation, coach Bui Doan Quang Huy cleverly filled the void left by departing players with less well-known but stronger signings, such as Vu Xuan Cuong (Thanh Hoa FC), Nguyen Van Duc (Ha Tinh FC), or experienced players like Vu Minh Tuan from Hanoi FC.

In particular, Huy "Lép" has helped fans in the martial arts land gradually forget the Rafaelson - Hendrio duo of the past with the brand new striker pair Leo Arthur - Alan Grafite, who combine excellent technique and strength, and work together incredibly well.

Van Trien is a crucial source of moral and professional support for Binh Dinh Club.

The most notable change, and a major shift for Binh Dinh FC, is their transition from a defensive counter-attacking style to a more proactive approach, with a more direct and faster-paced style of play.

After 24 rounds, the team from Binh Dinh boasts the second-strongest attack in the league with 42 goals, trailing only the league leaders Nam Dinh (52 goals).

It is surprising that the defense of the team considered the "dark horse" in V-League 2023-2024 is still very reliable, having conceded the fewest goals in the league (26 goals), equal to Ho Chi Minh City Club, The Cong Viettel and far better than top teams such as Nam Dinh (36 goals conceded), Hanoi (34), Hai Phong (36)...

That unique balance is the secret to Binh Dinh Club's success.

Perhaps it was his time playing for The Cong Club that helped the coach born in 1977 absorb the spirit of attacking football, while still ensuring discipline and cohesion for the team from Binh Dinh province.

The strength of the Quy Nhon home team is formidable, even after the departure of national team players Thanh Thinh and Ngoc Bao to Nam Dinh Club. Veterans Van Thuan and Van Trien provide a foundation for young and passionate players like Van Duc (5 goals), and foreign players Leo (7 goals) and Alan (16 goals).

Even veteran player Vu Minh Tuan has made a strong comeback with 4 goals, and center-back Dinh Trong is rediscovering his best form.

Coach Bui Doan Quang Huy is a strong candidate for the best coach award in V-League 2023-2024.

The 4-2 victory at Quy Nhon Stadium in round 24 helped Binh Dinh FC solidify their second-place position with 43 points, 4 points ahead of Hanoi FC, and 8 points ahead of the two fourth-placed teams, Hai Phong and The Cong Viettel, with only two rounds remaining in the V-League 2024.

This means the team nicknamed "the dark horse of martial arts land" will almost certainly secure a medal, with a high chance of finishing as runner-up and receiving a silver medal as a reward in coach Bui Doan Quang Huy's debut season.

Looking at the consistent performance and fiery attacking style of Binh Dinh FC this season, coach Bui Doan Quang Huy promises to be a strong contender in the race for the best coach award in V-League 2024.

Furthermore, having a local coach promises to help Binh Dinh football maintain stability, continue to be a formidable "dark horse of the martial arts land" as it has traditionally been, and ensure that Quy Nhon stadium remains a cauldron of excitement for Vietnamese football.
