Coach Troussier's contract with the Vietnam Football Federation is for 3 years. However, after just over 1 year of working, the French strategist has caused great disappointment. Coach Troussier is facing fierce reactions from Vietnamese football fans demanding his resignation or dismissal.
The loss to Indonesia in the third match of the second qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup was the last straw in Coach Troussier's relationship with Vietnamese football fans. Before the match, he announced that 80% of the fans wanted Vietnam to lose and he would be fired.
In fact, after losing to Indonesia, Vietnam still has a chance to make amends if we defeat our opponent in the match on March 26 at My Dinh National Stadium.
Coach Troussier's mission is to help the Vietnamese team pass the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup. Therefore, if they beat Indonesia, the Vietnamese team's chance of advancing is very bright.
In case Vietnam team draws with Indonesia team, coach Troussier and his team will no longer have the right to decide, but it is not certain that they will be eliminated.
Mathematically, even if Vietnam loses to Indonesia, we still have a chance to advance if we get favorable results in the remaining matches and Indonesia gets unfavorable results. Therefore, Coach Troussier's future will become clearer, decided after the matches taking place in June 2024.
