Vietnam dan Phillipe Troussier sepakat akhiri kerja sama
Vietnam national football team and head coach Phillipe Troussier have mutually agreed to end their partnership. The French coach, who has been in charge of the team since 2019, cited personal reasons for his departure.
Troussier’s tenure with the Vietnamese national team was marked by some notable achievements, including guiding the team to the final of the 2019 King’s Cup and helping them reach the third round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Under his guidance, Vietnam also saw an improvement in their FIFA ranking, climbing to 92nd place.
However, despite these successes, Troussier and the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) have decided to part ways. In a statement released by the VFF, they thanked Troussier for his contributions to the team and wished him the best in his future endeavors.
The decision to end the partnership comes at a crucial time for the Vietnamese national team, as they are set to compete in the upcoming AFF Suzuki Cup and the third round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. The VFF will now have to search for a new head coach to lead the team in these important tournaments.
The departure of Troussier will undoubtedly leave a void in the Vietnamese national team setup. His tactical acumen and experience were highly valued by the players and fans alike. However, the team will have to quickly regroup and focus on the tasks ahead as they look to continue their upward trajectory in Asian football.
As for Troussier, it remains to be seen what his next move will be. The experienced coach has had stints with various national teams and clubs around the world, and it is likely that he will soon find a new challenge to take on.
In conclusion, the end of the partnership between Vietnam and Phillipe Troussier marks the end of an era for the national team. While it is a loss for the team, it also presents an opportunity for new beginnings and fresh perspectives. The Vietnamese national team will now have to rally together and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead, as they aim to build on the progress made under Troussier’s guidance.
