French Coach Troussier Explores Naturalization Options for Vietnam National Team

Nguyen Filip remains the sole overseas Vietnamese player successfully naturalized for the Vietnam national team under coach Philippe Troussier’s guidance. VFF and Troussier aim to open doors for Vietnamese talents to join the squad, a challenging endeavor. Troussier, impressed by Filip’s integration, has scouted Patrik Le Giang, a pivotal figure at Ho Chi Minh City Club. With crucial World Cup qualifiers against Indonesia looming in March, Troussier’s efforts to bolster the team do not go unnoticed, as seen in an article by Suara newspaper discussing his clandestine meeting with Slovakian goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang. The media speculates on the potential naturalization of players as Troussier seeks to enhance the squad’s capabilities. Troussier, known for tapping into Vietnam’s overseas talent pool, has worked closely with players like Filip Nguyen and Dang Van Lam since taking on the national team. The French coach’s forward-thinking approach hints at a strategy to incorporate more naturalized players into the team, a move closely observed by fans and critics alike.
