European media stunned as legend Harry Kewell arrives in the V-League

The Sun expressed surprise when Harry Kewell officially became the head coach of Hanoi FC.

The appointment of Australian football legend Harry Kewell as Hanoi FC’s coach has created a sensation not only in Asia but worldwide.

Recently, the well-known British newspaper The Sun also reported on this signing: “The former Liverpool player, 47 years old, unexpectedly takes the helm of a Vietnamese club. Fans joked: It’s like a Netflix movie plot,” wrote The Sun.

Below the article, the newspaper quoted Hanoi FC’s announcement: “Hanoi Football Club officially appoints Mr. Harry Kewell - former Liverpool player and UEFA Champions League winner - as the head coach of the capital’s team.

With extensive experience in Europe as both player and coach, Harry Kewell is expected to bring fresh energy and help elevate Hanoi FC’s level as they pursue domestic goals and aim for continental success.”

Not only The Sun, but many major international news agencies have also covered this explosive transfer.

According to various sources, Harry Kewell will receive a salary commensurate with his reputation and skills upon joining the capital club. However, this amount is reportedly more modest compared to other foreign coaches currently or previously working in Vietnam. His ambition is to lead Hanoi FC back to major achievements while maximizing the club’s internal potential. Conversely, taking charge of Hanoi FC is also an opportunity for Kewell to prove himself in coaching.

On the evening of October 4th, the Australian coach shared his first words with Vietnamese football fans in general and Hanoi supporters in particular. He said: “Hello Vietnamese football fans. I am Harry Kewell, the new head coach of Hanoi FC. I am very eager to start my work. See you soon.”
