In order to help the home team ‘revive’ for the remainder of the 2021 season, the Board of Directors of Hong Linh Ha Tinh has appointed coach Nguyen Thanh Cong to the position of ‘captain’.
Thus, Hong Linh Ha Tinh is the 4th professional football team led by the Nghe An strategist.
Immediately after news coach Pham Minh Duc broke up Hong Linh Ha TinhMost of the fans predict that coach Nguyen Thanh Cong will be the new “captain” of the team that is standing at the last position on the stage 1 rankings. V.League 2021. Because at that time, the strategist born in 1977 had just left Quang Nam and was once impressed as a “firefighter” at the Saigon Club, Thanh Hoa and Quang Nam, the team currently playing in the First Division.

Remember, the first time Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong being “hot seated” is at the beginning of the return leg of V.League 2018. Due to the poor performance of the Saigon Club (losing 2 consecutive matches to HAGL and SLNA), the leaders of the team at Thong Nhat Stadium have decided to replace head coach Phan Van Tai Em with assistant Nguyen Thanh Cong. This is a bold “move” by the leaders of the Saigon Club, because the youngest son of former coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh does not have much experience in training in the V.League arena.
However, it did not take long for coach Nguyen Thanh Cong to clear the skepticism from experts and fans of the Saigon football team. Under the “shaping hand” of former SLNA striker, the Saigon Club’s style has been gradually perfected. At the end of the V.League 2018, teachers and coaches Nguyen Thanh Cong won 31 points and finished in 8th place, 7 points more than the team that had to compete in the play-off match of Nam Dinh (24 points in Nam Dinh). .
A year later, in the next season led Saigon ClubCoach Nguyen Thanh Cong shows his ability to direct more clearly. With the squad quality not having many positive changes, the team at Thong Nhat Stadium still performed a very uncomfortable game. Thanks to that, after 26 rounds, the Saigon Club won 36 points (5 points more than V.League 2018) and finished 5th, standing above famous teams such as SLNA, HAGL, SHB Da. Nang, Quang Nam or Thanh Hoa.

Unfortunately for family reasons, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong had to leave the Saigon club to return to his hometown. It was not until the first stage of V.League 2020 passed 3 rounds, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong “re-exported” the pitch. Receiving the invitation of the election of De, the strategist from Nghe An agreed to help Thanh Hoa overcome the crisis. At the time coach Nguyen Thanh Cong took over the “hot seat” left by coach Fabio Lopez, the Thanh team still had not won any points at the first stage of V.League 2020 (lost all 3 matches).
The appearance of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong completely changed the face of Thanh Hoa. From a group of exhausted and frail under coach Fabio Lopez, suddenly the Thanh team became a formidable opponent. Before having to carry the luggage to leave Thanh (disagreeing with the election of De), coach Nguyen Thanh Cong helped Hoang Dinh Tung and his teammates win 14 points (4 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses), and at the same time exit the danger zone (get up to 8th place).
Not long ago, when returning home, Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong received a “call for help” from Quang Nam’s leadership. At that time, the Quang origin team was also buried in the last position on the V.League 2020 stage 2 rankings. Chairman Nguyen Hao’s aim is to hope coach Nguyen Thanh Cong will bring the home team of Tam Stadium. Safe landing period. Despite great efforts, the victories against Nam Dinh, SHB Da Nang and Hai Phong still could not help Quang Nam “escape”.

Instead of leaving the “shipwreck” Quang Nam to seek opportunities in a team playing in the V.League, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong chose to continue working with Dinh Thanh Trung, Huynh Tan Sinh, Nguyen Anh. Hung … conquered the promotion ticket. But then the adventure of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong at Tam Ky Stadium also stopped, when Quang Nam did not win any victory after the first 4 matches in the first stage of the National Championship 2021 (draw 2, lost 2). .
Just finished handing over the work to his successor, Coach Duong Hong Son, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong’s cell phone received a call from the Board of Directors of Hong Linh Ha Tinh. Before the enthusiastic invitation of the head of the team “Hong Mountain”, the 44-year-old strategist agreed to sit in the “hot chair” that once belonged to coach Pham Minh Duc. A rather brave decision of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, in the current situation (Hong Linh Ha Tinh is standing in the “book team” position on the V.League 2021 stage 1 rankings, with only 6 points).
Witnessing the journey of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong over the years, football experts and fans of the country have called him “welder” – nickname of coach Claudio Ranieri – who used to lead football teams. age like Parma, Cagliari, Fiorentina, Juventus, AS Roma, Napoli, Inter Milan, Sampdoria (Italy), Valencia, Atletico Madrid (Spain), Chelsea, Leicester City, Fulham (England), Monaco, Nantes (France). .. The reason coach Claudio Ranieri is called “welder guy”, because the moment he takes over the “hot chair”, most teams are in a form crisis.
Wait and see, whether “the welder Vietnamese version” – Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong can “revive” a Hong Linh Ha Tinh who is “clinically dead” or not?
