Harry Kewell unexpectedly became head coach of Hanoi FC

Hanoi FC appointed Harry Kewell – former Liverpool player and 2004/05 Champions League champion – to the hot seat at the capital team.

Born in 1978, Kewell played for Liverpool from 2003 to 2008, making his mark in both the Premier League and Europe. At the national team level, he played 56 times for Australia, scoring 17 goals and participating in two World Cups (2006, 2010).

After retiring, Kewell began his coaching career in 2015 with Watford's youth team, then led Crawley Town, Notts County, Oldham Athletic and Barnet. In 2024, this coach moved to Asia to work with Yokohama F. Marinos (Japan) and helped the team win the runner-up position in the 2023/24 season.
