Before round 7 of the 2025 National First Division, Dong Thap Club changed its "captain" position. The coach from Long An (formerly) returned to lead Dong Thap to "weather the storm" at Khanh Hoa's 19/8 Stadium.

Accordingly, new coach Ngo Quang Sang was present at Cao Lanh Stadium on the afternoon of November 6 to take over the job. The two sides have not signed a contract yet because there are still some terms that need to be agreed upon.

It is expected that after the 7th round match, Coach Ngo Quang Sang will sit down with Dong Thap Club. The expected contract between the two sides is for two seasons, depending on the team's performance, with the goal of staying in the league.

Dong Thap Club has registered a personnel change with VPF. Mr. Ngo Quang Sang will be the coach, while Mr. Phan Thanh Binh will temporarily step back to work as an assistant, in charge of professional matters at this time.

Former striker Phan Thanh Binh replaced Mr. Bui Van Dong from the beginning of October 2024. In the 2025-2026 season, Dong Thap Club ranked 11th out of 12 teams with only 3 draws and 3 losses.

The home team Cao Lanh is only 1 point ahead of Thanh Nien TP.HCM. This situation is alarming, so the position of former player Thanh Binh is shaky after the 1-1 draw with Tre PVF-CAND on November 1.

Coach Ngo Quang Sang also has a difficult schedule. He will debut on November 9 at the top team Khanh Hoa in round 7. Khanh Hoa is leading the table with 15 points.
