European Assistant Coach Joins V-League

Hanoi FC further bolsters its coaching team with the addition of assistant Warren Feeney, a close associate of Head Coach Harry Kewell.

The coaching team at Hanoi FC is reinforced as assistant coach Warren Feeney officially joins the capital club. The arrival of the Northern Irish strategist is expected to bring enhanced expertise and international experience to the new head coach Harry Kewell’s staff.

Warren Feeney, a former Northern Ireland international, has a rich playing and coaching career in both England and Northern Ireland. After retiring, he quickly transitioned into coaching, leading several clubs in England.

Notably, Feeney has collaborated with Harry Kewell on coaching staffs before, building strong chemistry and deep understanding between them. This connection promises smooth cooperation between the Australian head coach and his new assistant in the mission to rebuild Hanoi FC.

Before Feeney’s arrival, Harry Kewell spent his first three days since taking charge at Hanoi FC observing and thoroughly assessing the squad. This period was considered a crucial start for the 47-year-old tactician to define the playing style, personnel, and development direction. In his first meeting with the entire team, Kewell emphasized professionalism, a winning mentality, and discipline as the foundation for Hanoi FC to reclaim its former stature.

Harry Kewell is a familiar name to football fans worldwide. He played for Liverpool and Leeds United and was one of Australia’s top stars in the 2000s. After retiring, Kewell moved into coaching, managing teams in England, Australia, and notably Yokohama F. Marinos, one of Japan’s premier clubs.

The duo of Kewell and Feeney promises to lead the capital club back to the championship race and restore its image as a top V.League powerhouse. Beyond their technical skills, the blend of European experience and practical knowledge from Kewell and Feeney is expected to inject new energy into the purple-shirted team.
