HOT: Harry Kewell appointed to lead Hanoi FC

TPO - The Hanoi Club's homepage has just announced a shocking news in the Vietnamese football world. They have just completed the deal to recruit coach Harry Kewell, one of the legends of Asian football.

“A new era with head coach Harry Kewell”, Hanoi FC announced. This message shows the great expectations for the capital team. On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of their birthday, this team is showing great determination to rebuild their position in LPBank V.League 1 after unsuccessful coaching appointments with Japanese strategists such as Daiki Iwamasa or Makoto Teguramori.

It can be said that Kewell is the most prominent name to arrive at LPBank V.League 1 in the past 10 years. Kewell used to be a star in the Premier League. When playing for Leeds and Liverpool, Kewell became one of the most feared left-footed players in the league.

He scored 57 goals in 12 seasons, along with countless assists. Thanks to his excellent performances, this former striker helped Liverpool win 3 championships, reach 2 Champions League finals (1 championship), 1 FIFA Club World Cup runner-up and 1 Ballon d'Or nomination.

During Kewell's time with the Premier League, Australian football built a golden era with a series of stars such as Mark Viduka, Mark Schwarzer, Tim Cahill... They helped the national team win the runner-up position at the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup.

After leaving the Premier League, Kewell continued to prove his ability at Galatasaray, Melbourne Heart... In 2014, he hung up his boots to officially end a glorious career. The 47-year-old former striker began to try his hand at coaching. He led the clubs Crawley Town, Notts County, Oldham Athletic, Barnet and Yokohama F Marinos. And Kewell's biggest mark was certainly bringing the Japanese club to the final of the 2023/24 Asian Cup C1.

Since then, Kewell has not coached any team, and being free makes it easy for the Australian football legend to accept the invitation of Hanoi FC. So after the FIFA Days series, the former Premier League star will be introduced in his new role at Hang Day Stadium.
