Da Nang will be Hung’s third stop this season. He left Than Quang Ninh earlier this year after the club had failed to pay players their outstanding salaries. Later, he moved to Becamex Binh Duong, whom he parted with in April citing health reasons, while in actual fact he was unhappy with the board interfering with his work.

Hung was set to coach Da Nang after the first leg of the season. However, the club were forced to execute the plan earlier after losing 1-2 to Viettel on Sunday, which pushed them out of the top six teams.

In the second leg of V. League this year, the top six teams of the first leg will compete for the title in table A, while the last eight battle to avoid relegation in table B.

Da Nang started V. League 2021 with three impressive wins. However, in the next nine games, they could only score seven points, falling to ninth. Last week, coach Duc said players have refused to follow his instruction. On Sunday, he resigned from the head coach position since he no longer felt motivated.

“Maybe I have been at Da Nang for too long (12 years), which caused my motivation to drop. The club need a change, so do I. When I was still at coaching school, the mentors told me that I should only coach a club for three years. But Da Nang hold a special place in my heart, so I decided to stay longer than expected,” said Duc, who was a star striker of Vietnam’s national football team.

Hung will have his first game as Da Nang’s head coach when the club faces Nam Dinh FC on May 7.

The loss was Da Nang’s fourth in six matches and put a serious dent in their chances of finishing in the top six teams after the mid-season split, with 16 points in 12 matches only good enough for ninth in the V.League 1 table.

The series of bad results put great pressure on coach Duc and immediately after the home loss, he resigned.

Duc came to Da Nang to replace coach Phan Thanh Hung in 2008 and helped the team win V.League 1 championships in 2009 and 2012.

“As a coach, it is normal to work or take a break. If you do well, the players are excited, then you succeed. And when I failed, I took responsibility,” said Duc.

“As for my way of building my playing style, I think it doesn’t matter,” he added.

After Duc resigned, Da Nang contacted coach Hung and hired him.

Coach Hung coached Becamex Binh Duong earlier this season, but due to health reasons, he resigned but is now apparently well enough to work again.

Hung was the former national team coach and guided Than Quang Ninh to fourth place in the V.League 1 2020.  Before coming to Quang Ninh in 2016, the 60-year-old coach helped Hanoi FC win V.League 1 titles in 2010 and 2013, and the Super Cup in 2010.

Earlier, Hung played for Quang Nam Da Nang (now SHB Da Nang) and won the national football championship in 1992. He and his team reached the semi-finals of the Asian Cup Winners’ Cup in 1992, the best result of a Vietnamese team in the continental event.

He was called up to the national team in 1993 to compete in the 1994 World Cup qualifying round at the age of 33 and scored a goal for the Vietnamese team in a 3-2 defeat to Singapore. After that, he also played in the SEA Games 17.

In other games on Sunday, Hoang Anh Gia Lai (HAGL) drew with Binh Duong 2-2; Hanoi FC beat Sai Gon FC 3-1; HCM City defeated Hai Phong 3-0; Thanh Hoa beat Song Lam Nghe An 1-0; Hong Linh Ha Tinh bested Nam Dinh 3-2; and Binh Dinh drew 1-1 with Quang Ninh.

After 12 matches, HAGL lead the league 29 points, followed by Viettel with 26 points.
