Technical director Jurgen Gede: 'HAGL president did not even look at the face'

Vietnam Football Federation decided not to extend the contract with technical director Jurgen Gede after 4 years because the two sides could not find a common voice. Over the past 4 years, Mr. Jurgen Gede has made many silent contributions to the miraculous development of Vietnamese football.

He is considered a talented strategist, especially in the process of developing young Vietnamese football over the years. But he was not supported in the past by the chairman Doan Nguyen Duc. Even Mr. Duc also wants to deceive him from the SEA Games 29 campaign.

Revealing about the relationship,  Mr. Doan Nguyen shared on VnExpress: "I want to emphasize, he and I have never talked to each other even Mr. Duc was Vice Chairman of VFF. There is no quarrel if we haven’t talked.”

"It is true that I have heard a few words that Mr. Duc disliked me. But I cannot explain why he was like that, if I want to know, I have to ask him directly. Once I went to Gia Lai. I worked in a young League, and on the second morning in Gia Lai, I went down to the breakfast area, had a coffee and talked to everyone, and that was the time when they all got to know each other better.”

"Then Mr. Duc appeared, coming in from the hall outside. I took the initiative to run out, saying 'Hello, how are you?'. But he ignored it, did not even bother to look at my face and just passed by. That's it. My most memorable memory about Mr. Duc. " Mr. Gede confided about a rare memory with the chairman of HAGL.

According to the share of Mr. Jurgen Gede, it can be seen that the HAGL president does not have much sympathy with the German strategist. Strong personality and shocking speeches also made the head of Hoang Anh Gia Lai club involved in reputations through out his career.
