Many coaches "study abroad" in Japan

While the teams gathered to prepare for the new season, many head coaches were absent because they were studying for a Pro Coaching Certificate in Japan. Notably, there were coaches Van Sy Son ( Quang Nam ), Vu Hong Viet ( Nam Dinh Blue Steel ), Phan Nhu Thuat (SLNA), assistant Pham Thanh Luong (CAHN)...

This is the second phase of the AFC’s professional coaching training course, which will last until July 21. During the course, coaches will prepare training plans for their players at home online.
