“Binh Duong are changing and want a younger team. So it is reasonable that I move away. We parted ways cordially, I am not a Bình Dương member anymore,” Vinh, who arrived in Binh Duong in 2014, said.

“I have not thought of a new club yet as I am focusing on competing with the national team at the ASEAN Football Federation Cup. I am thirsty for a second title with Viet Nam before my retirement or new signing,” the national team captain said.

Under the Binh Duong jersey, he won his first V.League title in his debut season. He still has one year left according to the contract.

Eight years ago, three-time Golden Ball winner Vinh scored the decisive goal to help Viet Nam win its first AFF Cup title.

Apart from Vinh, Binh Duong also ended their relationship with midfielder Nguyen Trong Hoang and rightback Au Van Hoan.

The club with 15 young players, who were pushed to the first team, started training on November 2 under new coach Tran Binh Su for the new season.

Binh Duong failed to defend their V.League title in the 2015-16 season. They finished 10th out of 14.
