Thanh Hoa FC and coach Velizar Popov have terminated their contracts ahead of schedule. This decision was made after a meeting between the Bulgarian coach and the Thanh Hoa team's leadership this morning (March 5).
Thanh Hoa FC's recent poor performance is the main reason why coach Velizar Popov left. Once at the top of the V.League 2024-2025 rankings, the Thanh Hoa team has been on a downward spiral since the beginning of 2025.
Coach Popov says goodbye to Thanh Hoa Club.
Coach Velizar Popov and his players have gone through a series of 10 consecutive matches with only draws and losses. Of these, they have only suffered 3 defeats, but the inability to win during this period against both weak and strong opponents has caused Thanh Hoa Club to receive a lot of criticism.
The Thanh team fell to third place in the V.League 2024-2025 rankings, 5 points behind the top team Nam Dinh . They did not pass the group stage of the Southeast Asian Championship. Yesterday (March 4), Thanh Hoa Club was eliminated from the National Cup after losing to Hai Phong right at home.
Coach Velizar Popov leads Thanh Hoa club from the 2023 season. The Bulgarian coach has impressed by helping Thanh Hoa become a team with a style of play worth watching and hard to beat.
Despite not having a deep squad and not possessing top V.League stars, the Thanh Hoa team still plays with dedication in matches. Under the tactical direction of coach Popov, Thanh Hoa Club won the National Cup championship in 2 consecutive seasons (2023 and 2023-2024).
