Park Hang-seo just played his last game as coach Vietnam National Team. The figure nicknamed the Terminator admitted that he was very sad to have to leave.
Park Hang-seo ended his career as Vietnam coach with defeat. The Golden Star Warriors lost in the 2022 AFF Cup final to Thailand.
After drawing 2-2 in Hanoi, Vietnam lost 0-1 when playing in Thailand, Monday (16/1/2023). This result also buried Park Hang-seo’s dream of giving a sweet farewell gift to Nguyen Tien Linh et al.
Yes, Park Hang-seo will indeed leave Vietnam. After five years coaching Vietnam, he will leave when his contract expires on 31 January 2023.
Park Hang-seo himself has coached the Vietnam national team since 2017, and has led 55 matches. In detail, 26 wins were achieved, 15 draws and 14 defeats suffered.
Of the total matches, he presented one AFF Cup title in 2018. Then, Park Hang-seo also coached the Vietnam U-23 national team, by being able to bring him to win the SEA Games football branch twice in 2019 and 2021, as well as being the runner up of the Asian Cup U-23 in 2018.
After the match against Thailand, Park Hang-seo admitted sad to leave Vietnam National Team. The trainer, nicknamed The Terminator, admitted that he would continue to support Vietnam in the future.
Maybe in the future Vietnamese football will continue to grow, but that’s the job of the new coach. I will be an enthusiastic cheerleader for Vietnamese football. We went through 5 years of ups and downs, happiness and hardships together. No longer sitting next to the players makes my heart heavy,” he said, reported by Thanh Nien.
“It will be a memory that I will never forget forever, especially the memorable moment and I played with the players in the Vietnam locker room. But what to do, wherever, with whom and whatever happens, I will only play football ball.”
“Looking back at the past five years, I, who have felt self-loathing, need to reflect on why, what I lost and the pain of parting with those I love. Over the past half-decade, there have been people who have been hurt by me, and I regret not knowing how to comfort them. I know I’m lacking in many ways.”
“I know how it is now, because it’s a reality. If there is pain, you have to accept it and deal with it. I have to continue on my way. And for you, personal pain and sorrow must also be overcome alone. From now on, I am no longer the head coach Vietnam National Team. My contract with VFF expires on January 31st. I will forever remember you guys. Thank you and see you soon,” he said Park Hang-seo.
