Vietnam have qualified for the Asian Cup, which is due to be played in Qatar early next year, and finished as runners-up in last month’s Asean Championship, losing to Thailand in the final of the Southeast Asian event. That game was Park’s last in charge after he announced he would not extend his contract after more than five years leading the national and under-23 teams. Troussier has an impressive history in Asian football, having taken Japan to the Asian Cup title in 2000, a success that also resulted in him being named the continent’s coach of the year. Two years later he steered Japan to the last 16 of the World Cup on home soil. He has also worked in Qatar, where he was national team coach, and in China as head coach of league sides Shenzhen Ruby and Hangzhou Greentown. The 67-year-old initially came to prominence as a coach in Africa, where he coached Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Burkina Faso before taking South Africa to the 1998 World Cup in France.
