Can Tho Club owes salary: Director, coach resign, players stop playing

Can Tho club CEO Le Minh Dung confirmed that he has submitted his resignation. Tay Do team head coach Nguyen Viet Thang also said goodbye to the club.

Meanwhile, the players have temporarily stopped playing and will only play in the next matches if the team's management resolves the issue of unpaid wages. Tay Do Football Club is facing the risk of having to disband due to lack of funds to maintain operations.

A week ago, Can Tho club paid one month's salary to the players right after the match with Hue club in the 2022 national first division. However, this team still owes the players 3 months of food, one month's salary and bonuses for 4 wins.

After several days of waiting, the club still has not paid the outstanding amount, so Can Tho players decided to stop training. They are still waiting for an answer from the team's management and will only agree to return to the training ground and compete in the 15th round of the national first division (scheduled to take place on September 23) if the issue of unpaid wages and bonuses is resolved.

At the beginning of this season, Can Tho Club was transferred to a new sponsor. However, Tay Do Club has only received 1 billion VND in sponsorship from a local business. Finding additional sponsorship for this club is facing many difficulties. If the financial problem is not resolved, the risk of Can Tho Club having to disband in the middle of the season is very high.

Despite many internal problems, Can Tho club still played with great effort, the players still behaved professionally. In the most recent round, Tay Do team just had a valuable draw against Hue club. In the last 5 matches, Can Tho club won 2 matches, drew 1 match and lost 2 matches.

Can Tho Club has 17 points after 14 rounds, temporarily ranked 8th and 10 points ahead of the bottom team Binh Phuoc. However, Tay Do team still faces the risk of disappearing from the professional football map.
