  • Chu Đình Nghiêm has been officially announced as the new head coach for V.League 1 club Ninh Bình.
  • He signed a three-year contract with the team, which also saw technical director Vũ Tiến Thành depart.
  • Nghiêm previously coached Hà Nội FC, winning multiple V.League titles, and most recently led Hải Phòng FC to an Они Cup runners-up finish.

V.League 1 club Ninh Bình officially announced Chu Đình Nghiêm as their new head coach on Sunday, May 26. The former Hải Phòng FC manager has signed a three-year contract with the Ninh Bình-based team, reportedly including significant benefits.

The club has adjusted its coaching staff structure following Nghiêm's arrival. Bae Ji Won, previously listed as head coach, will now serve as an assistant. Technical director Vũ Tiến Thành has departed the club to return to Hoàng Anh Gia Lai.

Chu Đình Nghiêm, born in 1972, is a highly respected strategist in Vietnamese football. He previously led Hà Nội FC from 2016 to 2022, securing multiple V.League championships and nurturing talents like Quang Hải, Đình Trọng, and Văn Hậu. After leaving Hà Nội FC in early May, he took on the challenge at Hải Phòng FC, guiding them to the V.League runners-up position and an AFC Cup spot in his first season with a less star-studded squad.

Nghiêm is known for his demanding coaching style and tactical acumen, earning respect from players across the league. At Ninh Bình, a team with strong potential and ambitions, he is expected to compete for domestic titles and regional success. His immediate tasks include managing Ninh Bình in the final two V.League 2025-2026 matches against Thanh Hóa and Hà Tĩnh, followed by a National Cup semi-final clash against Thể Công - Viettel.

5 years is not too long and not too short. I sincerely thank everyone who has always supported me during my time in Hai Phong. Thank you to my students and colleagues who have always helped me. I wish everyone health, happiness, and success. I wish Hai Phong club success and sustainability.
