HA NOI — Sai Gon FC announced the hiring of former national team midfielder Phan Van Tai Em as their head coach at the weekend.
Tai had agreed to leave Long An FC at the end of last season to work as Lu Dinh Tuan’s assistant at Sai Gon FC, the latter seeming set to leave HCM City FC to take up the position.
But Tuan in the last minutes refused the position, then the club tapped Tai, 35, as the head coach, replacing his former teammate Nguyen Duc Thang.
The team hope to sign goalkeeper coach Nguyen Duc Canh, who just finished a successful tournament with the national under-23 squad in China, to fill out their coaching ranks.
The club will hold a ceremony to introduce their new head coach later this week.
