Coach Park Hang-seo, who is considered a soccer hero in Vietnam, will step down from the soccer team’s command post.
According to the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) on the 17th, coach Park has agreed not to extend his current contract, which expires in January next year. Park’s term of office has been confirmed until January 31, 2023. Coach Park will lead the Vietnamese national team until the 2022 ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Championship (Suzuki Cup), which starts on December 20.
Manager Park, who took over the leadership of the Vietnam national team in October 2017, has been writing a remarkable record by creating a craze for ‘Park Hang-seo magic’. They won the Suzuki Cup in 2018 for the first time in 10 years, and reached the quarterfinals of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup. Vietnam also advanced to the Asian final qualifier for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
