After the 32nd SEA Games 2023 with the 4th consecutive Gold Medal with the Vietnamese women's football team, Coach Mai Duc Chung decided to temporarily stop this job to spend time with his family. After a period of rest and recovery, Coach Mai Duc Chung decided to return to women's football.

During his time as head coach of the Vietnamese women's football team, Mr. Mai Duc Chung and his students won 6/8 SEA Games gold medals and especially brought the women's team to the 2023 World Cup finals. Despite difficult circumstances such as when the team competed in the Asian Women's Finals, the team was almost completely affected by Covid-19, but the coach and his students made efforts to overcome to win tickets to the 2023 World Cup finals.

Sharing his thoughts on returning to lead the Vietnamese women's team, coach Mai Duc Chung said: "This year, the team will not participate in any international tournaments. However, the team will still have a training camp abroad in July or August, after which the players will return to compete in domestic tournaments, as well as the Ho Chi Minh City team will participate in the Asian Women's Cup C1. This is a premise for us to have good preparation for important goals that will take place in 2025, including the Southeast Asian Championship, SEA Games 2025, Asian Cup women's qualifiers... The coaching staff and I will concentrate to complete the task well."
