V.League side SHB  Da Nang have sacked coach Nguyen Minh Phuong after just one year in the job.

Coach Nguyen Minh Phuong

Under coach Phuong, the local team battled relegation and finished ninth out of 14 teams with eight wins, seven draws and 11 losses in the national premier league - results which were not to club official’s satisfaction.

“Coaching SHB Da Nang was pressure for me. I’m not satisfied with the result of the team but I tried my best,” said Mr Phuong.

Previously, 38-year-old Phuong replaced coach Le Huynh Duc who had resigned at the end of the 2017 season in November due to the team’s poor results.

Phuong played for SHB Da Nang from 2010 to 2015. He captained the team to the V.League trophy in 2012. He retired three years later and worked as Duc’s assistant in SHB for one year.

Phuong was a member of the national team from 2002 to 2010, winning 73 caps, and scoring 12 goals.
