Coach Troussier was supposed to lead the U23 Vietnam team to compete in the 2024 AFC U23 Championship. However, due to the poor performance of the Vietnam national team, the French strategist could not keep his seat.
Therefore, the Vietnam Football Federation has appointed coach Hoang Anh Tuan to lead the Vietnam U23 team. This is considered the most reasonable choice, because Mr. Tuan has many years of experience leading youth teams.
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan is the one who helped Vietnamese football make history when winning a ticket to the 2017 U20 World Cup. Therefore, fans continue to expect him to help Vietnamese football get a ticket to the Olympics, while also demonstrating a more open and effective playing style.

The goal of winning tickets to the 2024 Paris Olympics is really difficult, because the teams have very strong numbers participating in the 2024 AFC U23 Championship. Therefore, coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team will have to go step by step, first of all, passing the group stage.
Speaking to the media before the match, coach Hoang Anh Tuan said: “We are the youngest team in the tournament. This is a tournament for the future. I told the players this is a big challenge for you, for your future.
Now, my players are ready. The preparation of U23 Vietnam is complete. I remind the players that all opponents are big lessons for you. Let's focus on having a good performance and gain lessons for the future."
Evaluating the opponents in the opening match, coach Hoang Anh Tuan said: “There are no weak teams in this group. The first match will not be easy. U23 Vietnam has finished preparing and focused on the opening match. We cannot say anything about the result yet because we need to wait and see how the teams perform. I hope both teams play well.”
Under coach Troussier, U23 Vietnam as well as the Vietnam national team play with a focus on ball control, but the ability to transition is slow, the number of opportunities and shots on goal are also limited.

Meanwhile, coach Hoang Anh Tuan has a completely different football philosophy. The team led by coach Hoang Anh Tuan plays pragmatically, has the ability to quickly change state and plays very passionately.
It is very difficult to predict the results of U23 Vietnam at the 2024 AFC U23 Championship to see if they can repeat the miracle of Changzhou or not, but one thing can be affirmed, coach Hoang Anh Tuan will breathe new life into U23 Vietnam.
The match between U23 Vietnam vs U23 Kuwait will take place at 10:30 pm tonight, April 17. VOV Online Newspaper will report online, please follow.
