Quang Ninh suffered a 5-0 loss in their first match and struggled to 0-0 draw against Song Lam Nghe An in their second. After failing to score in the two matches, the decision was made to fire Rivera.

The team have signed a four-month deal with former player Rod Dyachenko.

The Russian played for Quang Ninh in 2016 when he first arrived Vietnam. He scored 12 goals for the team.

He moved to HCM City FC the next season but only managed to score four goals before being dropped. He returned to Quang Ninh and scored another 12 goals before signing for Can Tho last season.

Coach Phan Thanh Hung said he hoped the return of the 36-year-old forward would improve Quang Ninh’s attack.

No more details of the contract was released.

Quang Ninh will host Thanh Hoa in the third round match on March 6 at Cam Pha Stadium.
