According to VTC News, Mr. Alexandre Polking has submitted his application for the position of head coach of the Vietnam national team. In contrast, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) has shown special interest in the Brazilian-German coach.
The leaders of the Vietnam Football Federation and the professional department carefully researched this candidate through various information channels. Mr. Polking has worked in Vietnam and Thailand and has a good understanding of Southeast Asian football.
This strategist's practical working ability has been proven through his former teams. Mr. Polking is considered by many former students and colleagues to have good ability, suitable for the actual situation of Vietnamese football.
Coach Alexandre Polking can lead the Vietnam team.
Responding to VTC News, a member of Ho Chi Minh City Club said: " I think coach Polking is a reasonable choice for Vietnamese football at this time. He has great enthusiasm when working, and at the same time has the ability to read the game and arrange personnel well. However, the most important thing is still suitability. Hopefully if selected, he will adapt to the Vietnamese team ."
Coach Alexandre Polking will leave the Thai national team at the end of 2023. After a period of success and domination of Southeast Asian football, the Thai national team began to decline and did not achieve good results at the continental level. After losing to the Chinese team, the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) decided to fire Mr. Alexandre Polking.
In March 2024, Coach Polking told the media that every coach in Southeast Asia wanted to lead the Vietnamese team. At the same time, he was ready to come to Vietnam and would be very proud if he got this job.
Coach Polking led the U23 Thailand team in 2012. After that, he became famous with 2 runner-up positions in the Thai League. At the national team level, this coach won the AFF Cup 2 times, won the SEA Games silver medal. Mr. Polking loves attacking football and often applies the 4-3-3 tactical formation instead of the 3-center-back system like Mr. Park Hang Seo and Mr. Philippe Troussier.
