Amidst the quiet transfer season of Dong A Thanh Hoa, the contract with Que Ngoc Hai became a rare bright spot. At the age of 32, this experienced central defender chose Thanh Hoa as his next destination, in the context of the team "changing blood", prioritizing young players and rebuilding the squad with internal resources.
Ngoc Hai's presence is not only to supplement his expertise, but also to inspire young players like Thai Son, Van Thuan or Ngoc My. CEO Cao Hoang Duc affirmed that this was a calculated choice, after learning from the ineffective contracts last season.
Under the leadership of coach Choi Won-kwon, who led Daegu FC in the Korean National Championship K-League 1, then worked as a trusted assistant to coach Kim Sang-sik in the journey to win the 2024 ASEAN Cup , Thanh Hoa is moving towards a more modern and sustainable development model.
Along with recruiting 7 young players from the First Division, they need someone to be a mainstay in the dressing room and Que Ngoc Hai is the answer.
Three years of commitment is a big commitment from both sides. Although no longer at the peak of his career, Ngoc Hai's ability and influence are still highly appreciated.
The opening match against Da Nang on August 15 will be a much-anticipated debut for Thanh Hoa fans, who are yearning for a new season with a new mark after a series of quiet years.
For Ngoc Hai, this could be his last journey in a professional jersey. But if successful, it will be an affirmation that courage and experience still have a worthy place among a young team that is eager to rise up.
