SHB Da Nang's Le Huynh Duc has been voted Best Coach

for the 2011-12 V-League season.

The 40-year-old trainer received nods from almost all members of the VFF's Coach Council, club coaches and the head of the league's governing body.

This is the second time Duc has been awarded the title. His first taste of recognition came in 2009 following a successful season when he led Da Nang to a league and cup double with victory in the V-League and the National Cup.

In other news, Ha Noi FC's Anjembe Timothy finished the season as the league's top scorer with 17 goals.

Meanwhile, Antonio Carlos of Sai Gon Xuan Thanh has been recognised as the V-League's overall top scorer over the last 10 years, according to VFF statistics.

The Brazilian, who has netted 87 goals, was followed closely by Viet Nam's Le Cong Vinh, who has won the Golden Ball award three times, with 85 goals, while Huynh Kesley of Sai Gon Xuan Thanh rounded up the top three with 76 goals.

Sai Gon XT, Ha Noi T&T face off today in National Cup final

Sai Gon Xuan Thanh (SGXT) faced Ha Noi T&T in the National Cup 2012 final today at Thong Nhat Stadium, HCM City.

SGXT claimed an impressive 3-1 win over Song Lam Nghe An in the semifinal match at Vinh Stadium while Ha Noi T&T overcame V-League 2012 champions Da Nang 1-0 in the other semifinal match at home.

The final was a rematch of the encounter between two teams in the last round of V-League 2012 ten days ago in which the winning team was supposed to win the title, but neither team ended up winning the match so the title went to Da Nang.

This is a good chance for both teams to avoid ending the 2012 season empty-handed.

The winner will face Da Nang in the Super Cup match at the beginning of the 2013 season.
