Contrary to many rumors, the salary that the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) paid to the new head coach of the national team is not higher than the treatment that Mr. Park Hang Seo used to receive.
At this point, Coach Troussier is the most potential candidate to replace Mr. Park Hang Seo in the Vietnam national team. The final negotiations between VFF and this coach are taking place.
One of the details that has been widely speculated is Coach Troussier’s salary. Surprisingly, the French coach does not demand a high income as rumored in recent times. Coach Troussier may only receive a salary equivalent to that of his predecessor Park Hang Seo.
Coach Troussier is likely to be the successor of Mr. Park Hang Seo.
According to VTC News, Mr. Troussier receives less than 60,000 USD/month (the salary in the final contract of Coach Park Hang Seo with the Vietnam team is 50,000 USD/month). The French coach receives about 700,000 USD/year, much lower than the previous salary he received when he worked for the PVF football center. This center used to pay 1.5 million USD/year for Coach Troussier when he was the technical director there and had a period of leading the U18 and U19 Vietnam teams.
A member of the VFF Executive Committee of the 9th term revealed that the negotiation process with Coach Troussier did not encounter many financial difficulties. According to this leader, Mr. Troussier emphasized the emotional factor when giving the income figure and he understood that he had not contributed much in terms of achievements to the VFF and the Vietnam national team.
In addition, one of the reasons why Coach Troussier wants to return to the S-shaped strip of land is the desire to complete the plan to bring the Vietnamese team to the 2026 World Cup. This is a long-term plan that Mr. Troussier built when he was working at the PVF football center.
As the coach of the Vietnam U19 team, this strategist summoned hundreds of young players from all training centers nationwide and had an overview of the potential of the 2001-2005 generation of Vietnamese football. If given more time, Mr. Troussier is fully capable of awakening a new generation of talent and ambition. This is the foundation for Vietnamese football to aim for the World Cup in the future.
