Coach Vu Quang Bao passed away forever in his hometown of Nghe An after a heart attack. Before that, he was still healthy and closely watched the matches of the Vietnamese team at the 2023 Asian Cup.
This is sad news for Vietnamese football in the days leading up to Tet. Mr. Vu Quang Bao is a veteran coach of Vietnamese football. He left a bold mark when leading Military Region 4, Navibank Saigon, Can Tho Lottery, Lam Dong Lottery, Quang Nam and Thanh Hoa.
The last team he coached was the People’s Public Security Club, but in April 2022, he broke up after 1 year of association.
Mr. Vu Quang Bao’s peak was helping the Military Region 4 club win the 2008 First Division championship. It is known that because it was close to the Lunar New Year, coach Vu Quang Bao’s coffin was taken by his family to be cremated at 8:00 a.m. this morning (February 8, the 29th of Tet).
