Without Cong Vinh, SLNA must look forward to finding their first victory.
Without Cong Vinh...
As Thanh Nien Newspaper reported, after SLNA Club announced its new coaching staff with head coach Phan Nhu Thuat and the addition of Le Cong Vinh as an assistant, near midnight on November 11th, the former captain of the Vietnamese national team shared on his personal account denying the possibility of a return.
Cong Vinh shared that the SLNA leadership invited him to become Chairman of the Coaches' Council, managing the professional aspects of the SLNA V-League team and overseeing youth training. Although he felt honored, he could not accept the offer due to family reasons that prevented him from arranging his work in Ho Chi Minh City.
This means that SLNA Club will not be able to create the desired momentum in the crucial "six-point" match against direct rival Quang Nam when they travel to Hoa Xuan Stadium for Round 8 of the V-League 2024-2025 on November 15th.

Young player Van Luong was carried off the field in the 36th minute of the match against Thanh Hoa FC.
A member of the SLNA club's leadership said that the Nghe An team regrets not being able to reunite with Cong Vinh, as it had essentially been agreed that the former three-time Golden Ball winner would take on the role of Chairman of the Coaches' Council for the first team and the youth teams of SLNA.
...still determined to "conquer" Hoa Xuan Stadium.
It should also be noted that, because Cong Vinh only has an AFC-C coaching certificate and does not yet meet the standards for a coaching staff member of V-League clubs as stipulated by VPF and AFC, the former player born in 1985 was initially expected to sit in the technical cabin as an assistant analyst, even though he is actually the one in charge.
The fact that Cong Vinh cannot rejoin SLNA at this time will certainly affect the preparations for the extremely important match, where the Nghe An team aims for 3 points and their first victory in the V-League 2024-2025 to relieve pressure.
SLNA played with great effort in the match against Thanh Hoa FC.
Reportedly, coach Phan Như Thuật has begun preparations for the match, as Văn Thành will be absent due to a red card in the match against Thanh Hóa FC in round 7, while young player Văn Lương, who left the field early due to injury, is still under observation.
At this point, after the first 7 rounds of the V-League 2024-2025, SLNA is currently at the bottom of the table with 4 points, the same as Hai Phong and Da Nang , and these are also the 3 teams that have yet to taste victory.
