Mr. Duc is a typical example because at his most famous period, he held the most important positions in Vietnamese football, both VFF and VPF. That was the time when Mr. Kien "paved the way" to establish Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF), Mr. Thang (Dong Tam Long An) became Chairman while Mr. Kien and Mr. Duc held the role of deputy.

Mr. Duc was later elected as Vice President of Finance of VFF, just below President Le Hung Dung. Mr. Duc set big goals, including earning hundreds of billions of dong for Vietnamese football.

These wishes were ultimately not fulfilled, Vietnamese football went through a very difficult period, lasting until the 2017 SEA Games and only returning with the U23 Vietnam team in Changzhou. Mr. Kien got into trouble with the law, Mr. Thang and Mr. Duc also withdrew, associated with the decline of the two related teams.

No noise, no gossip, no controversy, then it's not V-League?

The mark that Mr. Duc left in his position as Vice President of Finance was quite faint, the highlight was the noise surrounding the attacks on the referee community, specifically the former Head of the Referee Board Nguyen Van Mui. Mr. Mui retired, but Vietnamese football still revolved around the familiar cycle.

The development of football cannot be separated from the general economic-political-social context. Therefore, it is not surprising that Vietnamese football, to achieve the achievements it has today, has also undergone many major changes, and there are barriers that only insiders can clearly see.

Mr. Van Tran Hoan , a famous fan, used to attack VFF quite a lot, but when he took the position of Chairman of Hai Phong Club, his team caused a stir with many serious violations. Mr. Hoan is currently a member of the VFF Executive Committee, which means that decisions related to Vietnamese football are partly linked to his voting responsibility.

It is no coincidence that when people in the industry heard that Mr. Tu wanted to withdraw from his positions at VFF and VPF, they felt regretful and hoped that the leaders of these two organizations would consider carefully. The reason is that in the context of Vietnamese football needing stability in the leadership apparatus for the transition to take place smoothly, finding the optimal solution is not easy.

Being an official at VFF is really not easy.
