Coach Viet Thang leads Binh Phuoc with Minh Vuong and Xuan Truong: If promoted, will they compete with Ninh Binh?

Coach Nguyen Viet Thang will most likely become the new captain of Binh Phuoc Club, a team that is nurturing the ambition of being promoted to V-League.

When will coach Viet Thang debut?

According to Thanh Nien Newspaper, Coach Viet Thang has reached an agreement to lead Binh Phuoc Club. Other details have not been disclosed. However, at this time, the 2008 AFF Cup champion cannot debut for the new team because he is studying for an AFC Pro degree in Japan. It is expected that the two sides will sign a contract after July 21, when Coach Viet Thang returns to Vietnam.

In the 2024-2025 season, Binh Phuoc Club is very close to the door to playing in the V-League in the 2025-2026 season. They finished the first division in second place but unfortunately lost to Da Nang Club in the play-off match and had to stay in the first division for another season.

With great ambition and stable financial resources, Binh Phuoc Club continues to aim for promotion. Therefore, they need a quality, experienced coach and coach Viet Thang is the chosen one. This strategist has just helped Ninh Binh Club win the first division championship with an unbeaten record (19 wins, 1 draw).

Binh Phuoc Club has a bright chance of promotion?

In the 2025-2026 season, the first division will have 2 direct promotion slots, instead of only 1.5 slots like last season. That means Binh Phuoc Club will have more opportunities to play in the V-League. They are still considered a strong candidate for promotion, along with Binh Dinh Club or PVF-CAND.

However, Binh Phuoc FC is not sitting still. They are actively operating in the transfer market, successfully recruiting Tran Minh Vuong (from HAGL) and are likely to have the services of Luong Xuan Truong (from Ha Tinh FC) and Le Van Son (from HAGL). These 3 players are all long-time teammates of star Nguyen Cong Phuong. They are students of the first course of the HAGL Arsenal JMG training center, bringing many sublime emotions to domestic football fans when they exploded with the Vietnam U.19 team.

With the current squad already quite stable, plus quality new recruits and an experienced coach, Binh Phuoc Club will be the leading candidate for the 2025-2026 first division championship.
