Will Ninh Binh Club become a new force in V-League?

After winning promotion, Ninh Binh Club is investing heavily in its personnel, ready for the ambition to compete for the 2025/26 V-League championship.

Just a few days after celebrating the First Division championship, Ninh Binh Club has made moves to show its determination to play big in the V-League next season. On July 2, the ancient capital team announced its head coach as Mr. Gerard Albadalejo.

Coach Albadajelo will be assisted by 5 fellow countrymen, including a technical assistant, fitness coach, goalkeeper coach, analyst and rehabilitation specialist. Thus, not only coach Viet Thang, but the entire old assistant team will be replaced after the 2024/25 First Division season ends.

Before coming to Vietnam, coach Albadajelo led a number of teams in Segunda Division B (the third league in the Spanish professional football system). In addition to his main job of leading the first team, the Spanish strategist can support Ninh Binh Club in the plan to establish a football academy.

The 1983-born coach is expected to help Hoang Duc and his teammates compete fairly for the V-League and National Cup championships with strong opponents such as Thep Xanh Nam Dinh , Hanoi FC, CAHN, The Cong Viettel...

Also related to the issue of force, Ninh Binh Club announced new recruits including midfielder Nguyen Duc Chien and 3 players from HAGL: Tran Bao Toan, Dung Quang Nho and Chau Ngoc Quang. These are all very high quality players, with many years of fighting in the V-League arena.

Ninh Binh is ready for V-League 2025/26.

Meanwhile, the first foreign player for the ancient capital team is striker Gustavo Henrique. In the coming time, coach Albadalejo will bring in a Spanish central defender and midfielder to prepare for the new season.

It is known that Ninh Binh Club is planning to purge its force, because in reality, besides Hoang Duc , Dang Van Lam, Thanh Thinh, Quoc Viet, the remaining domestic players are not of high quality. To compete well in a harsh arena like V-League, Coach Albadajelo's team must further strengthen its force.

Ninh Binh's preparation and determination have made big teams in V-League also plan early. Whether Ninh Binh can become a new force or not, time will tell, but one thing is for sure, the V-League next season promises to be much more attractive.
