Trainer Hoang Van Phuc has been assigned to lead Vietnam’s national football team in its two matches with the UAE on February 6 and Hong Kong (China) on March 22 in the 2015 Asian Cup qualifying round.

The decision was made by the leaders of the Vietnam Football Federation on January 13.

Phuc, who is the head coach of the Hanoi FC, has helped gain some remarkable achievements for youth teams, including the ASEAN championship titles for the U16 Vietnam in 2008 and 2010 and a ticket to the 2011 Asian Cup for the U19 squad.

Most recently, the U22 team under his instruction performed very well at the 2012 Binh Duong Television (BTV) Cup.

The national team will gather on January 23 to prepare for a friendly match with Hyundai Mipo Dolphin from the Republic of Korea at Hang Day stadium in Hanoi on January 31.
