VietNamNet Bridge – Tiago Calisto, the son of former coach of the Vietnamese national football squad Henrique Calisto and a well-known football agent, was unexpectedly in the audience at the match between Saigon FC and Navibank Saigon last week.


It is rumored that after the game, the boss of Saigon FC – Nguyen Duc Thuy, had a dinner with Tiago after the game. It is possible that Calisto will return to Vietnam to join this FC.

However, this meeting might be an initial move because coach Calisto does not have to be hurried. At Pacos de Ferrera, the Portuguese coach is very successful and he is invited to stay with the team. The Portuguese championship is finishing in two weeks and Pacos de Ferrera will surely hold its position.

Earlier, it was rumored that Saigon FC had got contact with Calisto and the coach agreed to return to Vietnam. However, at that time, Calisto was still busy with Pacos de Ferrera FC.

Along with Tiago’s appearance in Vietnam, the rumor seems to be accurate.

Calisto has recently complained about late payment of salary and bonus at Pacos de Ferrera. Mr. Thuy can win over the coach to his team by an attractive salary.

However, the result will be clear in the next two weeks, when the Portuguese Championships closes.
