" Coach Velizar Popov has left his position as head coach of The Cong Viettel team. Thank you, Coach Velizar Popov, for your contributions to The Cong Viettel over the past period! We wish Coach Popov and his family good health and happiness," The Cong Viettel Club announced on the evening of October 31st.
Previously, The Cong Viettel suffered a 1-3 defeat away to Thep Xanh Nam Dinh in Round 6 of the LPBank V-League 2026/27. This was the final straw that led the military team to terminate coach Popov's contract prematurely.
