VFF criteria makes it impossible for local to coach national football teamThe Vietnam Football Federation has decided to find a foreign coach to replace Nguyen Huu Thang as no local coach meets the criteria they set to lead the national team. Coach Nguyen Huu ThangThe VFF said any candidate needed to have been a head coach at a professional football club and willing to accept the offered salary. As a result of their choice of criteria, no current local coach could qualify for the position. Without the licence, a local candidate could only sign a one-year contract.
