The departure of club president Vũ Nam Thắng, who led the team through two seasons of relegation battles, marks a significant shift. Simultaneously, coach Trần Minh Chiến, known for his past interventions in similar high-stakes situations, is reportedly being brought in to replace the current coach, Lê Đức Tuấn. While Tuấn is recognized for his youthful energy and passion, the club's leadership appears to believe a more experienced hand is needed to navigate the treacherous waters of a relegation fight. The team's persistent individual errors and inability to recover collectively have been cited as key weaknesses.

Adding to the strategic reinforcements, the club is also set to welcome Yusuke Adachi, a former technical director for the Vietnam Football Federation, who had a brief interim role with CLB Hà Nội earlier in the season. Although official announcements are pending, these swift actions by the club's leadership underscore the critical nature of their situation and their determination to implement necessary changes immediately. The club's fans are eagerly awaiting official confirmation of these personnel moves, which are seen as crucial for stabilizing the team.

While Đà Nẵng has managed to accumulate 12 points after 18 rounds this season, a slight improvement from the 10 points they had at the same stage last year, this progress is not enough to alleviate concerns. Last year, they were 6 points adrift of the second-to-last team, whereas this season, they are only 1 point behind. This narrow margin highlights the ongoing intensity of the relegation struggle. Coach Trần Minh Chiến, who has arrived in Đà Nẵng after reaching a basic agreement with the club, will be supported by Mr. Adachi as technical director and Phan Như Thuật as his sole assistant. The team's immediate focus will be on their upcoming home match against Thép Xanh Nam Định on April 19th.
