It has been rumored that the VFF had reached an agreement with French coach Philippe Troussier, who used to lead Vietnam’s U18 and U19 national football squads.

However, VFF immediately denied the rumor.

According to the federation, there is no official information about the name of the successor of Mr. Park Hang Seo. The rumor that the VFF met with French coach Philippe Troussier is incorrect.

The VFF’s reaction is understandable because at this moment, Coach Park Hang Seo’s contract has not ended yet, and more importantly, he is being with the Vietnamese team at the AFF Cup 2022.

The VFF said that the name of the successor of Mr. Park will be announced, but definitely after the AFF Cup 2022.

Although VFF confirmed that it had not met directly with any candidate yet, a VFF official revealed that Mr. Park Hang Seo's successor would be a foreign coach.

Many foreign coaches have applied for the current position of Mr. Park, including Robert Prosinecki (Croatian, former coach of the Bosnia & Herzegovina team, former player of Barcelona and Real Madrid FCs), Dragan Skocic (Croatian, former coach of the Iran team), Marc Wilmots (former coach of the Belgium team), and Javier Clemente (former coach of the Spanish team).
