Coach Kim Sang-sik has recommended the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) hire a new assistant coach, following the departure of his former assistant, Choi Won-kwon, who has returned to the Republic of Korea (RoK).

The proposed new assistant is Lee Jung-soo, a former defender for the Korean national team, who played from 2008 to 2013. Lee gained recognition during the 2010 World Cup, scoring two crucial goals that helped the RoK advance to the round of 16.

According to various sources, Lee has already arrived in Vietnam to discuss the position with the VFF. Previously, he served as an assistant coach under Chung Hae-seong at Ho Chi Minh City FC from 2018 to 2020.

Meantime, Lee Woon-jae will continue in his role as an assistant to Kim Sang-sik. In 2024, Lee Woon-jae signed a short-term contract as the goalkeeping coach for the Vietnamese national team./.
