The person who replaces coach Park Hang Seo to lead the Vietnam team is receiving special attention from the public.
Before VFF officially signed a contract with coach Philippe Troussier, many sources confirmed that the French strategist was paid a record high amount, up to 4 billion VND/month.
In fact, when working as Technical Director for PVF since 2019, “White Witch” has also received a salary of more than 3 billion VND/month, so it is also a matter of fact that this leader is well paid when leading the Vietnamese team. Normal.
Thus, if VFF pays 4 billion VND/month, the salary of HLV Philippe Troussier 4 times higher than its predecessor Park Hang Seo. This makes many people question whether the French coach will help the Vietnamese team achieve higher achievements than Park’s time, especially realizing the dream of attending the World Cup.
xHowever, according to the latest information, the salary of Coach Troussier is not different from that of Coach Park Hang Seo. The French strategist only receives a high salary when he has certain achievements after signing the contract.
This is also reasonable because of the fact that with a salary of up to 4 billion VND/month, VFF faces many difficulties in calling for sponsors.
With coach Philippe Troussier alone, this military leader, after parting with U19 Vietnam, has rested since 2021, so it is difficult to meet the high salary if he returns to Vietnam.
Currently, all information about the salary for the new captain of the Vietnam team is kept secret by insiders. The contract between the two parties can be signed this February.
After signing a contract with VFF, Philippe Troussier’s first task was to help Vietnam U22 successfully defend the gold medal at the 32nd SEA Games in Cambodia. The first official tournament of Vietnam team Under the French military leader is the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, taking place in November 2022 (2 matches). After that, Mr. Philippe and the Vietnamese team attended the 2023 Asian Cup finals in January 2024 in Qatar.
