Round 9 of the V-League will soon return from January 8, Giap Thin year 2024 (February 17.2). When the tournament returns, domestic football fans expect the appearance of famous coaches, appointed to new positions right before Tet, but not yet officially in charge of the new club.
The most mentioned name is definitely coach Kiatisak Senamuang (Thai) of the Hanoi Police Club (CAHN). A famous coach joining a very famous club is of course a topic mentioned in stories related to Vietnamese football.

Not to mention that Coach Kiatisak leaving HAGL was already a very unexpected change. Despite many years of working in Vietnam, from when he was a player to when he became a coach, going through many different stages, this is the first time "Zico Thai" no longer belongs to HAGL when he operating in the Vietnamese bridge village.
The story of Kiatisak leaving Mr. Duc's football team to join CAHN not only reflects the big change of Mr. Kiatisak himself, but also shows the big change of HAGL. Coach Kiatisak comes to CAHN with the hope of helping the reigning V-League champion revive and return to the race to win the championship.
In the opposite direction, coach Kiatisak leaving HAGL also reflects that Mr. Duc's team is now ready to change, especially in terms of playing style and approach to the audience and the media. Replacing coach Kiatisak's position on the mountain town team at this time is coach Vu Tien Thanh, a character with a different leadership style than "Zico Thai", much more pragmatic.
If coach Kiatisak appeared at CAHN with the goal of winning the championship with this team, then coach Vu Tien Thanh appeared at HAGL with the goal of helping Duc's team stay relegated, after a series of hard days in the period. early season.
In fact, Mr. Vu Tien Thanh directly directed HAGL Club in round 8 of the V-League taking place before Tet. But at that time, Mr. Thanh had the title of Technical Director (DKT), he only supported coach Kiatisak, but did not have full authority to make professional decisions at the mountain town team at that time.
Only from round 9 of the current V-League season will the right to decide on all professional aspects of HAGL Club belong to coach Vu Tien Thanh.
Coach Kiatisak's CAHN dreams of winning the championship, coach Vu Tien Thanh's HAGL hopes to stay relegated, while Hanoi Club of coach Iwamasa Daiki (Japanese) and The Cong Viettel of coach Nguyen Duc Thang hope to transform.
The past series of days in the 2023-2024 season have been unsatisfactory days for two teams rich in tradition, The Cong Viettel and Hanoi Club. They also changed coaches once this season, but still did not meet expectations, so now they change again.
The Cong Viettel tried to find traditional values when appointing former coach Nguyen Duc Thang to the head coach position. Mr. Thang made a name for himself with The Cong when he was a player, and he also has experience as a coach in the V-League.

On the contrary, Hanoi Club looked for freshness in Japanese coach Iwamasa Daiki, a new character appearing for the first time in the V-League. When appointing coach Iwamasa Daiki, Hanoi Club hopes this professional will bring a new breeze to Mr. Hien's team, helping the former V-League champion find newness in his playing style, avoiding being caught by opponents like last time.
There is no guarantee that the new coaches will be successful, but anyway, when the old people and old values are not effective, change is inevitable. Besides, the change in football teams at this time also brings new expectations, for a better new year!
