Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong leaves PVF CAND after 4 matches

Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong reached a mutual agreement to depart from PVF CAND club after only 4 matches, having failed to help the team climb up in the relegation battle.

Two days after losing to Thep Xanh Nam Dinh Club in round 11 of the LPBank V-League 2025/26, PVF-CAND Club reached an agreement to part ways with head coach Nguyen Thanh Cong.

The decision was made by the club's leadership today, March 10, due to dissatisfaction with the team's recent performance results.

During the 4 matches under Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, PVF-CAND secured only 1 win and suffered 3 losses.

Specifically, under Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, PVF CAND won 1 match (2-1 against Becamex TP.HCM) but lost 3 matches to Ho Chi Minh City Police Club (1-2), Da Nang (0-3), and Nam Dinh (0-1).

With only 3 points from 4 matches, PVF-CAND fell to the bottom of the table with 11 points after 15 rounds.

The person chosen by PVF CAND Club to replace Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong is Coach Tran Tien Dai, a familiar name in Vietnamese football. The 1966-born tactician has arrived at the club's headquarters to begin his work.

In the upcoming round 16, PVF CAND Club will travel to Thong Nhat Stadium to face Ho Chi Minh City Police Club as visitors on March 15.
