Coach Chu Đình Nghiêm's contract with Hải Phòng FC expires after the 2025-2026 season. He will not be renewing his contract with the club, intending to move to coach a larger, more ambitious team.

Ninh Binh FC has always been interested in coach Chu Dinh Nghiem since joining the V-League late last year, but at that time, Mr. Nghiem was still coaching Hai Phong and respected his contract.

Currently, coach Chu Đình Nghiêm has not confirmed whether he will lead Ninh Bình FC. According to Tuổi Trẻ Online , the strategist has only expressed his intention to change environments and challenge himself at a major club.

Recently, Ninh Binh FC has been taking a series of actions to prepare for the 2026-2027 season, but has left the head coach position vacant. They changed the title of interim coach Vu Tien Thanh to Technical Director, and hired fitness coach Bae Ji Won to "act" as head coach, in order to be ready in case Ninh Binh qualifies for the Asian Cup.

Until the end of the season, Coach Vu Tien Thanh will remain the person with the highest professional decision-making power at Ninh Binh Club. Sources from Tuoi Tre Online indicate that Coach Thanh is willing to step back to support Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem. If things progress, Ninh Binh Club and Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem will proceed with a collaboration.

Coach Chu Đình Nghiêm was born in 1972 in Thanh Hóa province. He is a highly qualified strategist who has proven his abilities with numerous V-League championship titles under Hanoi FC from 2016 to 2022. Coach Nghiêm is the mentor who elevated the generation of Quang Hải, Đình Trọng, and Văn Hậu to become stars of Vietnamese football.

When he took over as coach of Hai Phong, despite the team not being strong and lacking star players, Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem still managed well, building a scientific attacking style of play that brought a lot of excitement, and at times even competing for the top spots in the national championship.

From a managerial standpoint, coach Chu Đình Nghiêm is a "fire-breathing" figure, highly respected by many players.

Ninh Binh FC is currently ranked 3rd out of 14 teams in the V-League 2025-2026 standings after 19 rounds with 37 points. They are determined to secure the runner-up spot, currently held by The Cong - Viettel, who are 4 points ahead.
